Music / Harry's House

Spinning out, waiting for ya to pull me in, I can see you're lonely down there, don't you know that I am right here?

Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay

Tropes For A Sushi Restaurant:

• Descent into Addiction: "Grapejuice" alludes to alcohol dependency. The narrator goes to buy flowers for his partner, but buys a bottle of wine for himself instead and muses on how the consequences of drinking become more severe as he ages.
  I pay for it more than I did back then
• Design Student's Orgasm: The cover of the album, which shows Harry in an upside down house and looking at the light bulb.
• Erotic Asphyxiation: "Keep Driving" contains the infamous line "choke her with a sea view".
• Music Is Politics: In the "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" music video, Harry is depicted as a bearded merman brought to a sushi restaurant where he bargains for his life by performing. It works, and he is pampered and made a spectacle... until he is killed for making a mistake. This appears to be a surrealist metaphor for the music industry, how people only care about you as long as they can objectify and commodify you, and how quickly they can change their mind and discard you for the next product.
• Ready for Lovemaking: In the first verse of "Cinema":
  I guess we're in time
  If you're getting yourself wet for me
• Singer Name Drop: In "As It Was"
  'Harry, you're no good alone, why are you sittin' at home on the floor? What kind of pills are you on?''
• Stepford Smiler: The titular girl in "Matilda", who tries to downplay her horrible family as no big deal.
