(The) Harvey Danger Database

There is a price tag on everything;
a dying language, beat down like a featherweight, staggering.
Once you’ve had bad credit, you’ll never forget you had it.

Dim innuendos are spoken aloud, where supermodels are super-endowed.
Fashion is the art of brainwashing the proud.

The shocking inclination (the vulgar ostentation),
the group inoculation (the sketchy motivation),
the holy exaltation (the misappropriation),
the underestimation…

This is the thrilling conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Ears down to the noise floor just to hear the sound.
The adjectives are everywhere. I stand down.

This is the fascist expurgation,
the people’s liberation,
the teen emancipation,
the tintinnabulation…

This is the thrilling conversation you’ve been waiting for.
This is the thrilling conversation you’ve been waiting for.

(Disassociate if you can’t support it; don’t try on the suit if you can’t afford it.)

Sean: Another massive title, another case of lyrical importantitis, built on the trusty AAAA rhyme scheme; LOVE the distorted bassline, love the second set of "ation" rhymes, culminating in "tintinnabulation" (and a little ringing on the cymbals to underline it), and love the Stringfellow/Gibbard Beach Boys harmonies; label president derided song for being "too clever by half, like XTC" (specifically "Respectable Street"), which sounded like victory to me.^10A
