"You watched me like a 10 car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity.
This looking down at the tops of the hats of us passers-by from your 7th story balcony...
from such a height you missed the creatures too small for sight..."
WOOOOF, those are some hard lyrics. I'd never heard any other #mewithoutyou songs, so the change in style from the other one really took me by surprise.
Took me a while to realize that the January 1979 "crash" was referring to his birth.
He's really hitting the theodicy note hard in this one.
"The Beetle King on a Coconut Estate" is a song that brings me to tears every time I hear it. It's so intense.
