The National – Brainy Lyrics 16 years ago
god i love the line, "think i better follow you around" really chilling, definitly gives the sense of him being a stalker, follows the same theme throughout boxer, which may be the best album ever (this year)

The National – All Dolled-Up in Straps Lyrics 16 years ago
i agree with starmand, he seems over protective, and its quite straight forward in lyrics terms, he has just seen this girl who hes been obsessed with, and with the bit with the clouds, he still feels she needs someone to look after her.
also love the faint electric guitar on chorus, beautiful....

I love this song, somehow, really haunting, i agree with the idea that he i sneaking around in his friends room, and trying to experience their lives, becuase of his feeling out of touch.
but when he says
" hope they stayed glued togther, i have arms for them" could it be "alms" as aid?
