Parentheses

A song by The Blow, from the ERL mix:

I’m very impressed by the lyrics of this song, which are extremely strange. These lyrics are almost as good as Superchunk lyrics, which is high praise in my book. (Check out the lyrics to Every Single Instinct.)

If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
Of course I’ll put my arm around you
And walk you outside through the sliding doors, Why would I mind?

This strikes me as a slightly odd sentiment. Crying over cold cuts is an unencouraging sign, I’d submit. But still, it’s pretty endearing. Listen to the song!
