I always thought there was a strong connection to Sylvia Plath in thiis song with so many alussions to her.
"Daddy dear if I can kill one man why not two," alludes to Plaths poem "Daddy"
"If I've killed one man, I've killed two--
The vampire who said he was you
And drank my blood for a year,
Seven years, if you want to know.
Daddy, you can lie back now."
I also heard that "kittens all wrapped in cement" could be tied with Plaths poem "Lesbo"
"Little unstrung puppet, kicking to disappear
Why she is schizophrenic,
Her face is red and white, a panic,
You have stuck her kittens outside your window
In a sort of cement well
Where they crap and puke and cry and she can’t hear.
You say you can’t stand her,
The bastard’s a girl."
"nurses smile when you've got iron veins" Also could be a loose connection to Sylvia Plaths novel "The Bell Jar" and even "And is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried?" Can allude to Plath, I remember reading some where that there is a poem where Plath speaks of dried, framed butterflys.
