this song is great, but nothing has EVER hit me as hard as "how strange it is to be anything at all."

Meriwether – Annexation of Puerto Rico Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't know if any of you read Bukowski but...

The line "And our hearts they scream like lions at what they have done" was basically taken from The People Look Like Flowers at Last. Chapter one is called "the heart roars like a lion at what they've done to us."

Damien Jurado – Prices Lyrics 16 years ago
Nobody's commented on this yet?

Alright. I think the song's about someone just generally abusing a relationship.

"'And I can want you only, and if you give me money then I could want you always.'"

- The girl saying this is telling the guy that if he buys her things, she'll always stay with him.

"...and then she hit me; 'I love you sometimes so much it kills me.'"

- She's just completely manipulating him and lying, telling him that she loves him just so that she can get material things.

"'Oh, if you give me more...'"

-After stating her undying love, she then asks for more shit. Nice girl, huh?

Anyways, that's a pretty straightforward and excellent song.
