Johnny C:
Okay but like that's kind of comparing keying somebody's car to starting a total nuclear war.
And actually, that's not even accurate; for one thing, she hurts herself, and to that end it's more like the difference between swatting a fly, missing & giving yourself a bruise by accident, and using orbital lasers to obliterate the polar ice caps and portions of Australia.
Yeah, that works.

i heard 'coin-operated boy' on the radio last fall, and absolutely hated it. plinky piano and obnoxious dead pan vocals and about 3 minutes too long for the thrill. so they're not my favorite.

Well, that was kinda my point in people freaking out about them being screwed up, and whatnot.
Or something...
Johnny C:
I'd freak out if someone keyed my car.
what the hell was I talking about anyway?

If you guys know anything about their bio, most of the lyrics written are about her past. The couple is actually very happy together and making the music has a big part in that.
Most of the stuff is an act, and a lot of people don't realize that. They are a very friendly and photogenic pair that are loving their recent success.
I have also known many girls with similar pasts. I hate to say it, but its not really that uncommon. I guess thats where my weakness for them comes from.
Sure, listening to someone sing about being abused on the playground as a kid is kinda unnerving (and I can see why it isn't your 'cup o' tea') but its no differen't than Tori Amos singing about rape. Issues make excellent material for song lyrics.
Kilconey, maybe you should listen to more than one song before making an opinion like that. Coin-Operated boy is catchy, but far from my favorite. It does get stale pretty quick. Girl Anachronism is pretty much the same story. Try Good Day, Bad Habit, or Slide because they sound very different from the previous two.
Oh, they did a cover of War Pigs when I saw them. Can't say I've ever seen Black Sabbath covered by a piano/drum combo.
