Calexico is of the rare groups that I can hear over and over again w/o growing tired of them!

This is terrific! One problem: about 20 minutes too short. A 9, and maybe due for a raise.

According to his profile, Netto is a dude. But I'm sure if you asked nicely enough, he may consider writing you as a girl. |

Great riff!
They ARE a great live band! I never actually saw them live, but i've seen a concert on DVD and was blown away by it, imagine actually standing in the crowd. |

When numbers matter more than the heart
Your eyes are hollow and stiffness starts to take control
Capsize the soul, deep down you know it's evil
You've always known Be a good example show your new tricks
And while you're out there they'll make the pitch
To rally the troops and make a huge contribution
To help push this through
Deep down you know it's evil
You've always known it's evil The days here are numbered but your record is clean
Outstretched and waiting on banks that seem
To flow and flow, a rich reward to show
Duty carried out in the field
Deep down you know it's evil
You've always known it's evil
You've always known The first verse seems reasonable enough. After that, though, I have no clue. Would any nice RP'ers be willing to offer an interpretation?
I always assumed it was about the invasion of Iraq, the fabricated WMD's etc. |

No one knows in advance exactly what's the secret of a successful song, but doing things with discretion, thoroughness, skill, talent and authenticity, very helpful for obtaining this goal....
