Everything the Grateful Dead does reminds me of the myriad failings and encroaching flaws of the human body.

Isn't Ten Feet Tall just about being all jaunty and happy and shit? I'd've said When You're Near Me I Have Difficulty.

That Scissor Sisters one where he says 'I see you shitting, damn you look good, I would like to take a shit too, but I ain't got no anus', and several variations on this theme. Bicycling With The Devil, or something.

"Bones", Radiohead.

Also, my brother's old band covered "Touch Me I'm Sick" as "Don't Touch Me, I'm Six".

Funnily enough, I always heard "Ten Feet Tall" be about feeling awkward (imagine being ten feet tall). Moreover, the melody has a slighty mournful twinge to it. But now that I read the lyrics, it seems your interpretation is correct. Go know.

Agreed on "When You're Near Me.." as well.
