Idler Wheel's Lyrics

As I have been listening more or less on loop to Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel... (you can read some of my thoughts on it here), and I always connect to music through the lyrics, here are 10 favourite lines from this album (in no particular order):

• "He makes my heart a cinemascope screen showing the dancing bird of paradise" Hot Knife
• "While you were watchin' someone else I stared at you and cut myself" Valentine
• "I guess I just must be a daredevil I don't feel anything until I smash it up" Daredevil
• "I can love the same man and the same bed and the same city but not in the same room it's a pity" Left Alone
• "How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?" - Left Alone
• "I ran out of white dove feathers to soak up the hot piss that comes through your mouth every time you address me" - Regret
• "The pain comes in like a second skeleton trying to fit beneath the skin I can't fit the feelings in" Every Single Night
• "My breast's gonna bust open/ The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk/ I just made a meal for us both to choke on" Every Single Night
