Cover art for Stumpside lyrics by Rasputina

this song sounds like its about really nasty surgery or disease like "if you hear a bell ring you get some wings" like the thing from that movie whenever a bell rings an angel gets it wings or it could be like on the surgery table when you hear the heart moniter beep go flat (bell ring) you are officially dead (get wings like turn into an angel) and the face held together with three time used strings like stitches except ew... gross

We come alone and leave alone and look the horse in the mouth. We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south.

like an examination and then medicine breaking bones, surgery to make it go right

and

Fixing a fencepost or feeding a cow, Twopenny saltlick I never ask how. Animals like me though folks turn away, I like the pigeons I like what they say.

sounds like people think shes creepy because the surgery or disease (yeah like leprosy?) so she has animial friends

I saw a wishing well down by the stream I never understood what wishes mean Just ask for nothing you get what you get. I asked for something I've not got it yet.

like a cure??
