I thought this would be a Pinefox thread! -- Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 23 March 2006
I thought JtN would have said that. I'm glad he did. I am almost surprised I didn't start this thread myself, except that I don't think there's any contest - it's average Boss vs utterly outstanding Merritt; '100,000 Fireflies' by 100 miles.

So when Bruce sings "Baltimore, Jack" he's talking to someone named Jack? "Baltimore Jack" isn't a section of the town?

(that's another lyric from the song. i'm fine. but like... desperation.... heartache.... approached through the thinnest possible veneer of irony, a way of maintaining dignity... anyone who thinks stephin merritt isn't a good songwriter is wrong)
