I am a darker poet

[rm]

Okay, you know that Decemberists song We Both Go Down Together where the singer makes the word "tramp" have three syllables? I still always hear it as "triumph" which makes the line "I found you a tattooed triumph, a dirty daughter from the labour camps" which is about 800 times more disturbing and interesting than "tattooed tramp" and I can't shake it. I mean, my god....

I don't know the song, but I still like yours better.

The song that's a little like that for me is Dido's White Flag --

I always hear it as "I'm in love -- no mercy", which I like so much better than "I'm in love and always will be"
