Warning - some politics and lyrics mix it up

So the RNC in St. Paul and other recent political events have reminded me of these lyrics from Laurie Anderson . I saw her at the 'old' Guthrie back in the day and have the vinyl Big Science LP from which this song is from:


SWEATERS

I no longer love your mouth.
I no longer love your eyes.

I no longer love your eyes.
I no longer love the color of your sweaters.
I no longer love it.

I no longer love the color of your sweaters.
I no longer love the way you hold your pens and pencils.
I no longer love it.

Your mouth. Your eyes.
The way you hold your pens and pencils.
I no longer love it. I no longer love it.



Vocals, Violins: Laurie Anderson
Bagpipes: Rufus Harley
Drums: David Van Tieghem


Context:

Today's NY Times/CBS News Poll Headline: "Obama Retakes Lead Over McCain"
From the link above:

Palin’s favorable rating stands at 40 percent, down 4 points from last week. Her unfavorable rating, which stands at 30 percent, has risen eight points in the same time period. Her favorable rating among women has fallen 11 points in the past week.
