Ever listen to a song to have one line jump out at you?
"you took an instamatic camera and pulled my sleeves around my heart" from "You're Gorgeous" by Baby Bird
The imagery is masterful.
The act of doing something so mundane causing such strong feelings. A play on the words "tugging at the heartstrings" in a manner that's more rough and tumble, perfect for the seduction that goes on in the first stanza.
Evoking a feeling of being hopelessly wonderfully captive...
Amazing :)

Hi, I like your blog which I came across through browsing when completing my own blog (http://jessicatmagnificat.blogspot.com/).
If you are into lyrics, have you tried listening to any Lloyd Cole songs? Or Crash Test Dummies? They all have amazing and quite literary lyrics. Best wishes
