Sugar Tongue Indigo Girls Poseidon And The Bitter Bug

All the fur and fin will lose again
Cause our better is their worst reckonin'
And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed
And how will we replace that symphony?

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin
Satisfy my sugar tongue again
Bring me love that buys us shoe-shine days
Guilded verses for your ethylene
And sing it to me free and clean

All the kids come home with foreign limbs
from hunting trips abroad they lose again
and we'll teach them how to talk
and whistle while they walk
and do the dirty work of battle hymns

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin
[ Indigo Girls Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Satisfy my sugar tongue again
Sing me love that buys us shoe-shine days
Guilded verses for your ethylene
And sing it to me free and clean

Drinking tea with milk and Janjaweed
Pontificate on genocide or greed
With a spoonful of descent
For the orchestra of need
Is just enough to please this colony

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin
Satisfy my sugar tongue again
Bring me lullabies and morphine-dreams
Belladonna with her atropine
And sing it to me free and clean

Comments and Song Meanings

I think it's about war in general. It refers back to the sugar trade and how countries will do anything to preserve its luxuries. All this is at the expense of the soldiers who do the dirty work and end up maimed and drug addicted with not enough support when they get home. When something is exploited (birds, whales, people) they can't be replaced.

trying to figure this one out is driving me crazy. Love the melody and it sticks in my head. Probably why the meaning is bothering me.
Janjaweed is a term for a Darfur-based militia with an Arabist agenda.

I believe this song to be about a war/wars in general. This is based on the use of such words in the song such as 'Ethylene, Janjaweed, Belladonna and Atropine'

No freakin' clue. Strangest word salad I've ever heard. But I love the melody. It's beautiful.
