It wasn´t until I realized this song is about physical violence that it became something memorable.
"So I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love"
I was vaguely aware of Antony's "I am a Bird Now" winning a prestigious best album award, a few years ago here in the UK, but I never really heard anything from it. A few weeks ago @pez Jammed "Bird Gerhl" from it and I thought more investigation required. Glad I did - a great album and this track blew me away. With Brother Lou Reed reciting the poem and an awesome sax player leading a Memphis Horns style band.
