In lay me down by the dirty heads, the line:

But they were seen by the good eye of the mean billy green

Should have been:

But they were seen by the keen eye of the mean billy green

There's a break-up song on Chvrch's debuted album called Tether. One line, frequently repeated, goes "I'm feeling capable of... seeing the end." A fine lyric, very breakup, much hopeful.

Except, I can't tell when listening that she isn't saying "I feel incapable of..." I don't know if it's intentional but I think the ambiguity really elevates the song from semi-empowering breakup song to powerfully-relatable song about the chaos of seeing a relationship end; simultaneously believing you can get through it while also having no idea how you'll ever get through it.

It's just fun wordplay too: feeling capable/feel incapable. Makes me want to use that structure more in my own writing.

That's when it's time to write a cover.

There used to be a greater power alone on the sea:
You became a light on the dark side of me. Love became a draw that I could not appeal. But did you know that when it snows, My eyes become alive, and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey...

🎶Wrapped up like a douche, another owner in the night🎶

🎶Hold me closer, Tony Danza🎶

"It's too late to roll the dice" instead of "it's too late to apologize" sounds much more meaningful.

🎶Concrete jungle wet dream toma-to!🎶

I cannot hear this song without thinking that the background singers are repeatedly saying "cut your balls off" during the refrain

"Sewing machines of love"

-Tears for Fears

And I'll sing all night and in the mornin' light

When your shades are on and your head's on ice

You'll know you've seen the redneck sodomy
