I'm almost positive that it's "lawyer >will land his attack". > >That's my take. It DOES sound exactly like "He's anemic, a lawyer will land his attack" but does that make ANY sense? It turns out that "anemical" is not a word but "anemic" and "anemically" are. (At least that's according to Quick Mail Pro 2.0's spell checking dictionary.) Anyway consider the line that precedes it: "Similarity lurks under styles of mustache" (or something close) Sounds to me that the Mayor figures start off as a generic design, all looking identical. Then they are dressed up with wigs, mustaches, etc. in an attempt represent the individual mayors. Agree? If you do, consider that the line could be: "Similarity lurks under styles of mustache His anemically loyal lenses attached" Meaning that the generic heads have had mustaches and eyeglasses put on them. The lenses might be "anemically loyal" because the are falling off. Now that I typed this all out, I realize its very unlikely. Anyway the "lands his attack" could be "lenses attached" considering that it immediately follows the mustache line. I came up with that theory without listening to it again. I'll have to do that. The mystery remains. -B O N G O ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 14:12:06 -0400 From: "Jose" Message-ID: <8hjesi$30r4$1@ussenterprise.ufp.org> Organization: They Might Be Giants, Unofficially http://www.tmbg.org Subject: TMBG: Re: Insturmentals/tours Steve, You headed to the Chicago concert?
