Rockland County Lyrics

Cover art for Rockland County lyrics by Regina Spektor

The American way of thinking isn't necessarily anti-immigrant. Just saying.

I adore this song. Besides the beautiful, personal details she has such a talent for giving, there is so much to love about it. I like how she repeats herself at the end with the swimming pool and dog because she seems like an excited kid taking in a new place.

I also find the beginning fascinating. "Condescending down the stairs" is so fantastic that I can't even think of anything to say about it.

I'm a little confused about the two verses about knowing that they/I have something coming if they/I have anything coming at all. Obviously, if you have something coming, then you have something coming, but I'm not sure what she could being refering to with the "something." Opportunities? Changes? But then there's also the phrase: "got something coming to you," though I have no idea how that would work.

Also, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" makes me cry (the poor little shoe - I was inconsolable the first time I saw it) :)
