Andrew Bird – Case in Point Lyrics 15 years ago
Just a simple, and likely obvious thing to add to everyone's interpretations is that "a real hard sell" could also double as "cell" as in a jail cell in which he's confined in.
His conceptual hell are the bars of his mind that he seems trapped behind because his reality doesn't seem to transcend into the real world. Therefor, it's impractical.

The Bird and the Bee – Because Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe the song is about a breakup and the "Because because" is in response to the reasons as to why she's choosing to end it.
And when she says "And when I'm tired, I'm so very tired
And when it's done, it's like I've killed someone" I think we can all relate. Breaking up with someone never feels that great though it might be necessary. You figuratively "kill" someone in the relationship and it's a tiring process.
