Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The song? Yeah. It's (and I think the poem form predates the song form) a narrative/biographical/navel gazing thing about a crush he had on a friend's woman when he still lived in Montreal.

Thanks for all the fish.
She's touched your perfect body with her mind.
I love the stanza about Jesus.

It's the flip in POV that gets me (I think "Old Apartment" by BNL does the same thing). Is it suddenly her singing? Who's the him?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
IIRC, Jesus
Yep, that's my take.
Heh. Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on just came up on my playlist (AIFG).

Right.
And Jesus was a sailor
when he walked upon the water

Okay. I'm good. It's the closest I'll ever come to having a song in my name, so I just needed to get it first.

Brenda, I love Don't Go Home With Your Hard On.

I'm listening to Lover Lover Lover on repeat. AIFG.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
mumble something
He spent a long time watching
from a lonely wooden tower
And when He knew for certain
only drowning men could see him
He said "All men shall be sailors, then...
