Van Hunt. “Plum.” What Were You Hoping For. Godless Hotspot / Thirty Tigers, 2011.

You really need to listen to this song once through. It is insane. I don’t like it, but I kind of love it?

The lyrics are truly stunning (emphasis added):

It talks to me when you’re not looking
It says, “hello.” And I say
“Hi, cutie.”

You turn to leave
You’re feelin’ moody
But, she shakes when she waves bye to me

I beg you to come back by tuesday
You say, “ok…if you buy me a ruby.”

As you stare at your new jewelry
I stand behind you and I say, “Hi, booty.”

Lord, why’d you give that girl a Gorilla bump
And make it the shape of a plum
Don’t tell me how to hold my nuclear bomb
‘Til you’ve resisted the urge to love one

Plum Tree Vocal:
What have you done to her
She was once a lady
Now she’s unmanageable
I took her for a walk down gettysburg
Once engineered for love, now she’s a rebel

Return to Chorus:
Lord, why’d you give that girl an aquarium
Now she’s easy to see – hard to touch
I can only look through my camera
Like a tourist, I’m star struck

I reach for you every day
Walk with you as you sway to the shower
I’m addicted to you
you’re too pretty to abuse your pretty powers

‘Woods & Lollipops’
The fortunate woodsman steadied his scope
Just as she emerged from the hot shower

He thought of a wet lollipop

The sun had to squeeze around her – her silhouette was cropped

Her body – whether in clothes or naked – looks like a sculpture ready for war

Does this point to some instability? That he wants to give character to every part of her?
