Cover art for Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. lyrics by Ryan Adams

Ryan Adams is one of my favorite artists of all time!

Strange lovers moan Each other's names on by ? sheets? (the lyric is Each other's name on by the hour sheets)

I think that's one of the most important words (hour), because it makes me feel as if the song is about a "working woman" or prostitute.

I agree with Gabriel, i think it's a beautifully written song about someone who chose a career (prostitution) and she is unhappy with it.

"Strange lovers moan Each other's names on by ? sheets? For the very first time One of them's James The other's some name he changes every time she lies across his bed"

"The other's some name SHE changes..." James happens to be her customer's name, but she has an alias. She changes her name when she's with customers. She wants to change, but i get the feeling that she's stuck.
