Line Out - Comments on Favorite Lyric of the Day http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/05/favorite_lyric_of_the_day As per Douglas Martin's suggestion, another installment of "Lyric of the Day," this one from Hot Chip's "Crap Kraft Dinner" off Coming on Strong: "All the people that I think I am are drunk" The line closes a circular series...

my lyric of the day comes from "banana song," because i've been listening to the PWRFL POWER full-length all day: "how does it feel to be inside of you/how does it feel to be loved?"

it's one of those lines where a curveball is thrown, and you're left asking yourself, "did kaz actually mean it the way i thought he meant it?" the first verse is so innocent, so you're left thinking, "maybe he didn't mean 'how does it feel to be inside of you' like that," but then you listen to the second verse and you're like, "that's kinda creepy, maybe he DID."

i have to point out that i'm sort of a big fan of creepy lyrics. there's something about them that make the writer seem more human to me.
