Left Hand Shoe Lyrics

Cover art for Left Hand Shoe lyrics by CocoRosie

Left hand shoe is part of a poem in Alice through the looking glass, when the white knight sings a balald, and this is part of it:

And now, if e'er by chance I put My fingers into glue Or madly squeeze a right-hand foot Into a left-hand shoe, Or if I drop upon my toe A very heavy weight, I weep, for it reminds me so, Of that old man I used to know–

And it makes me think of L. Carroll, who was also accused of pedophilia, while he created the most beautiful and innocent stories known to literature.

I think we're getting somewhere. And thanks for that excerpt!
