The line about taking off all his clothes and spines, well, it makes me think of the spine of a book.

Mmmhmm, good point. I read another review on this where they talk about the line:

How Id push my fingers through your mouth
To make those muscles move
And make your voice so smooth and sweet

And how its a metaphor for turning the pages of the book to hear Annes voice. Thats why I love this album so much, Ive never heard another album with lyrics so rich that I constantly hear new interpretations that are not only all wonderful, but all add something else. I could argue that this is the most lyrically well-written album of all-time (although Dylan fans would lynch me).

And, excellent review, I really enjoy your song by song interpretation, especially that bit about carrot flower seeds being contraceptives, I never knew that.
