Cover art for Rubella lyrics by Smoking Popes

was wondering what the lines

"And the heart that she has stollen has now swollen to twice its natural size. I've lost six pounds since I laid eyes on her."

mean

cant find the meaning or even close to a theory any ideas?

This song sounds wonderful and the lyrics are fun and very clever. I agree with spamuel and mr-numb on why this song is so smart. It is a perfect little song, and nothing could improve it.

Jimnal, I think he is talking about how he is so lovesick that his heart feels like it is huge. Also, if you've ever been really infatuated with somebody, sometimes you forget to do things like eat regularly. I remember accidentally losing weight after falling in love. Lovesickness will do that to you, at least that is how I have interpreted...

@Jimnal Also some diseases can cause the heart to swell and the infected to gain weight. So as with everything else in this song, it's a double meaning.
