http://deepbackground.livejournal.com/20231.html
Some great lyrics - Deep Background. Literature, Science, History, Politics, Music, Food, Geography, Parenthood. For those who appreciate good writing, 2007 has been a great year for lyrics in pop music. Here are a few of my favorites. First, from The National's Boxer.

Obama for President - Deep Background. Literature, Science, History, Politics, Music, Food, Geography, Parenthood. Be counted, so the best bet for their supporters is to vote "Uncommitted".) Although he has surged in the polls in recent weeks, Obama really must win Iowa and New Hampshire to overcome the commanding lead Hillary Clinton has in national polls.
