The Story: Don't eat the fruit in the garden, Eden,, It wasn't in God's natural plan., You were only a rib,, And look at what you did,, To Adam, the father of Man.
The Story: You smell like goat, I'll see you in hell
I was talking to an acquaintance about Sara's newly released album, and how I was sure that "Eden" was going to be a really popular single as soon as it was released... but I wondered if Sara was going to take any flack for her line about insane angels from the extremely religious.
"What are you talking about?", I was told. So I outlined what I had heard, got them to listen to the song, and they agreed with me that, yeah, she'd said that the angels started off insane. Pretty edgy, right? We checked the liner notes to see where else she might have decided to push the envelope, and all sorts of lyrics websites after that (barely stopping myself from "correcting" them), and I was a bit crushed at what the far more pedestrian version turned out to be.
I can hear the "correct" version now when I listen hard, but I still can't quite let go of my first interpretation.
The song's still awesome, I was just convinced that it was... awesome plus one. =/
