Photography and art illustrating Okkervil River "A Girl In Port"
Images come from various of places including Deviant Art and Flicker stock images
~Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt
A girl in port
Marie's gone blonde
And lost a stone
She lay on her lawn
Spun and alone
And when the morning sun, it rose
Upon Marie
And her lacy clothes
Well, it lit her up
And she walked around
The winding streets
Camdon town
Well, she don't know who
She wants to be
And if I knew
I'd tell Marie
Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt
A girl in port
And Cindy tells me she's had fun
Sitting back stage
Someone's plus one
Up in her room
The records spin
Needle in the grooves
That she's worn thin
Well, she lifts her sleeve
And she sees a name
And she's got a smile on her face
And she's got a story you can't see
Well, that's just between that name and Cindy
And before Holly made her way
Over the sea
And far away
She's telling me
Inside her car
Driving us back
From the Crystal Corner bar
I lost her there
I fell from hell
Cut some fresh pieces from myself
Then for a second
Something in me
Said leave today
It's time, Holly
It's time
Oh, I'm a weak and lonely sort
Though I'm not sailing just for sport
I've come to feel
Out on the sea
These urgent lives
Press against me
I'm just aghast
I'm not a part
My tender head
With my easy heart
These several years out on the sea
Made me empty, cold, and clear
Pour yourself into me
Let fall your soft and swaying skirt
Let fall your shoes
Let fall your shirt
I'm not the ladykilling sort
Enough to hurt
A girl in port

I think you’re …
I think you’re overreacting just a little bit.
I agree with the guy, and he makes a damned good point. Perhaps just go with the album art next time. It’s not a big deal, and he wasn’t making it into one. There’s no harm in just disagreeing without getting mad.
Thanks for the post. Great song.
If anyone knows …
If anyone knows where I could find the author of the picture of the two ladies in white in the ocean, at 2:55, please tell me!

Awful video to a great song. Thanks for the upload and genuine effort.
Grab the album or pick it up on itunes, it’s some of my favorite material by them.
I believe the lyric …
I believe the lyric is “I’m just a ghost, I’m not a part…” At least that is how I always interpreted it – makes a bit more sense that way to me.

its true. lol.
its true. lol.
Oh I give a …
Oh I give a about what the average recipient thinks, I just don’t give a about you.
Listen, its just a picture slide show to a nice song. Only real reason I posted it was to offer an album version of the song- not to display my actual interpretation of it. Plus, even if I did display my interpretation so what! Last thing I would want to do is trash someone’s interpretation like some pompous asshole-pretty much someone like you.
If you consider …
If you consider forcing the audience to interpret some images of metaphor would be rich, then being entirely literal is poor. Simplicity is important while dull transmission unwanted. The song itself let you go with your own thoughts about it and so to do it justice I would expect something more. Obviously it’s still YouTube and You don’t have to give a about what an avarage reciepent thinks about it.
That’s pretty much …
That’s pretty much the only reason I posted this.
the only reason one …
the only reason one would click on this is for the album version of the song…pretty though
Hmmm. Yah I guess …
Hmmm. Yah I guess its easier to be literal. Don’t see anything ‘poor’ about it.
how nice to be …
how nice to be literal, world seems so easy then, right?
