Graceland. Travis nailed it, and so does every line of that song,
“She comes back to tell me she’s gone, as if I didn’t know that, as if I didn’t know my own bed, as if I’d never noticed the way she brushes her hair from her forehead.”
“Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes,” common… does any other song on that album leave the listener with a sentiment that there are nice people everywhere? I don’t think so.
Homeless.
My favorite is ‘Graceland’! It’s a great song!
