thankyou. thankyou, thankyou, thankyou blackskieslullaby. i do love you. i'm shaking all over after listening to that. by the way, anyone who reads my 1st comment, ignore the 'ten percent' bit. i went away, calmed myself down and came to the conclusion that it was just me not having heard the word ampersand before and consequently turning it into a word i did know. when you say it in an amanda accent it sounds a little like 'empersent'. hence the misinterpretation.(i now know that an ampersand is an 'and sign', &) also i saw them in may not april but that doesnt matter really.

to me, the "fires" are break-ups, arguments, and the emotion that goes with them, so "flame-retardant" is not being affected by that. "...question how authentic they are/... "She just likes playing hospital"", maybe to do with people accusing her of being melodramatic and exaggerating her emotional wounds, and that she is becoming half convinced they are right... you're right, there are echoes of 'girl anachronism'.
