| I think this is one of the more perfect folkie heart break songs ever written. But I like the solo acoustic performances better than the studio recording. He's really talented. | |
| Bahamas – Southern Drawl Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I can't be at your beck and call With a love so slow and heavy... ...to gather up and use what you learned... ...but leave his love behind... ...use what you learned Of all the ways a man might live To love and to laugh, to do and to give... |

I agree with onlineatron. But I'd go further and say the song is from the perspective of not just "someone," but the capitalist, the corporation. "Oh America, can I owe you one?" calls my mind to GM and Chrysler as well as the financial firms, who took money from Uncle Sam. The cup of coffee line is interesting not just because it shows how far the capitalist has fallen, but it also calls my attention to the whole "peak coffee" crisis leading to a dramatic jump in bulk coffee prices. I had never heard the word rubes before. Definition for anyone who's interested: "n. derogatory. A country bumpkin. From an abbreviation of the name 'Reuben.'" |
