Wilco – Impossible Germany Lyrics 17 years ago
Germany and Japan were allies during WWII. It is a metaphor for two lovers. The "impossible" and "unlikely" show the defunct nature of the two parties involved. Obviously, there is a problem in the relationship and it's not being solved because the other person isnt listening.

The problem disappears when they realize that love is "to be out of place." After that, the "Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan" line disappears and the narrator knows that the other is now listening.

Wilco – Either Way Lyrics 17 years ago
tweedy has repeatedly said that 'sky blue sky' is about living with ambiguity. this song is the perfect opener if that is indeed the message behind the album. he is accepting the fact that nothing is guaranteed. 'either way' works for him whether that be the weather or his lover's love. his love for his lover is the one thing he is certain about. he doesnt know if she feels the same way but ultimately he accepts this doubt.
