Speaking of twisted lyrics on NBH, can anyone help me decipher
the pseudo-title track, Dancing Class? What's this business
with Berlin (& the German girl) and being 200 years old, and
what do politics and dancing have to do with each other?
I don't get it.
And does everyone agree that "Mimi on the Beach" is a more-or-
less religious call-to-repentance focusing on pride? With the
"great Leveler" a reference to Christ?
