All of the prisoners serving life sentencesWait for the earth to suddenly shakeFor the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling andFor the bars to somehow magically breakAw, There's nothing wrong with them That a thousand bucks can't fix That a thousand arms can't hold down In the ground they're tattooing the stones with Cusses like cavemen - your momma was here
But they want to run through the air with no barriers or obstacles Gunmen or guard dogs or priests Andto rise from the mud and start over and over With the people all dead.
If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me Then none of this shit would have ever gone down In my cell I'm tattooing myself with Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm reallyjust little And someday I will remember
Like an elf lol! Joanna Newsom is very much a required taste.Regina Spektor howeverm she calms me down, She's especially thought provoking to me.

If you're looking for unique, look up Peach Plum Pear... that is a unique voice.

Hans Christian Anderson wrote Children's stories, all of which contain a "moral at the end of the story." I take Regina's part to mean that if she had learned those important lessons that she was supposed to learn as a child then she could've avoided the bad mistakes that she made as a result of not knowing. I could be wrong, but that's how i've always interpreted it. =)

I like this strange music a lot more then her more commmerical stuff. It makes my mind spark and my soul want to scream in delight! Unique and different is the key to avoid boredom in everyday life.

is mary and the gravediggers her first album? because it sounds quite different from her other stuff i've heard. like it's just a piano and her voice. it's simpler. in some ways i think i prefer this music though...

everyone... this songs somewhat bizarre, but not like "yeah she was totally loooaaaadddeeedd when she wrote this mann, she musta been way up there" really, thats more like Lucy in the sky with Diamons ;), this is relativily understandable, its just really random, but I have thoughts somewhat like this sometimes, I just don't write them down... and I've never ever done drugs.

Does anyone know what the last verse (Hans Chrisian Anderson part) means???

i love the forboding feel she creates in a melody sometimes. there are so many other emotions also that make me hold my breath but when one of her songs is haunting like this it takes the cake.
