Bull in a china shop

I've been reading a lot of blogs with song lyrics in them lately (or, in the case of sweetmysterie, poems that I desperately want to put to music, but that aren't nearly long enough), and I thought I'd maybe have to get in on this little trend that's going on. I'm on my way out of town tomorrow (worry not, gentle readers, I'll have my computer with me, so your comments shouldn't go unanswered), so I thought I'd leave you with something to mull over while I'm gone.

You have to understand something about me that you might not've figured out yet, though. While I am a sucker for song lyrics, I generally don't obsess over what the song MEANS... unless, of course, the lyrics are obtuse and ambiguous and lead one to wonder what the hell the lyrics ARE about.

That said, the lyrics bouncing around my head right now aren't significant for their "meaning", but rather for incredibly genius way that they're put together. Please, friends, read and enjoy. Look at the lines and how they relate to each other. See any connections? No?

Then LOOK CLOSER.

Bull in a China Shop
Barenaked Ladies

I'm a in a candy store
I'm a bull in a china shop
I'm a tired old metaphor
For everything you can't afford
And everything you can't afford to be

I'm a public embarrassment
I'm a bottle of diet poison
I'm a walking advertisement
For everything I never meant
And everything I never meant to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

I'm the reason I don't go out
I'm afraid I might sell me something
I'm the shadow of every doubt
I'm the product this song's about
I'm the product this song's about to be

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

Every morning
Since I was born
It's been hard to look in the mirror
And see my face for the horns

All the fun that the law allows
All the fun but with half the meaning
Come on over, I'll show you how
If you lived here you'd be home by now
If you still lived here you'd be home now with me

I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening
I can't hear a thing
Cause I've stopped listening

Mull it over. I'll see you in Kansas City tomorrow afternoon.
