Nephew - Police Bells and Church Sirens



Artist: Nephew
Song: Police Bells and Church Sirens
Album: Danmark Denmark
Year: 2009


"Well, I'm a fan of days in bars and nights in school. And of geniuses in jail, and Nobel fools. And I'm a fan of yellow noise, and silent shouts. And of nurses that are boys, and women scouts..."

"Why don't they make it police bells and church sirens.
Police ding dong, church wee ooh..."


*NOT A COMMENT: To go with the flow or to be a fish swimming upstream? Either way is fine but the second option may be seemed as dumb. The latter question would be some kind of crappy approach to the next lines about this song meaning, well, at least my interpretation of it and it is kind of simple: Make it whatever you want it to be, if you want to put beans on your soup, go put beans on your soup, if you want to put some ketchup on your beans, go put some ketchup on your beans and so many other food combinations and life situations (more serious than the beans) that may seem odd at first instance if you are not familiar to that, but at the same time are enjoyed by someone… Anyway, I think the lyrics of this song may refer to that, a way to say ‘fuck the world’, but it goes beyond that, sort of like: embrace the contradiction.
