The Dresden Dolls – Sex Changes Lyrics 13 years ago
This song is about gender identity, sex changes and how sex complicates all of this:

dear mr. and/or mrs. sender >>> MALE OR FEMALE
we're pleased to inform you that your applications been accepted >>> FOR A SEX CHANGE
“hope you're feeling better” >>> FEELING BETTER NOW THAT YOU ARE SOMEONE ELSE
we'll need to chop your clock off (tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock) >>> I THINK THE WAS SHE SINGS IT MIGHT EMPHASIZE THAT SHE IS TRYING TO DISGUISE A HIDDEN MEANING, CHOP YOUR COCK OFF MAYBE??
there is no money back once you've been ripped off >>> PENIS RIPPED OFF

THE SECOND VERSE MIGHT ALLUDE TO BREASTS

THE THIRD VERSE IS ABOUT HOW SEX CHANGES THINGS, PREGNANCY

THE FOURTH VERSE IS ABOUT HAVING A BABY, AND POSSIBLY PLAYING WITH A PENIS

THE FIFTH VERSE IS ABOUT GENDER CONFUSION AND EXPERIMENTATION

THE SIXTH VERSE IS ABOUT HOW THE PERSON WHO'S SEX HAS BEEN CHANGED WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BE A REAL WOMAN, CARRYING A CHILD

This is just my opinion. Hope my 2 cents makes sense, writing it while i am watching alice in wonderland. WHOOP!

Editors – Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors Lyrics 14 years ago
Coming from a background in the emergency department, to me, this song refers to losing a patient. Usually after working your arse off to save a life, and the patient dies, all the staff go outside the ER to smoke, and get rid of the stress...

Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again - Refers to nameless patients that die.

My dirty hands, have I been in the wars? - In my opinion could refer to the blood that you have on your gloves while treating.

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again? - Begging to have another shot at saving the patient's life, just to have a redo.

We've all been changed
From what we were - Seeing people die, changes you.

Our broken parts
Left smashed off the floor - There is always blood (broken parts) on the floor of the ER after a hectic case.

Probably not what they tried to convey, but hey, this is what makes poetry so BRILLIANT!
