| Yeah, St. Francis of Assisi preached to birds, look it up if you want (it might be spelled "Assissi"). He had nothing to lose because he had already commited himself to poverty before he started talking to animals. It sort of contradicts Shameless' idea though, so the rest of the song doesn't make any sense now. | |

| out of every song with "little" in the title on each album, this definatly the best also around 2 minutes into the song meg and white do thier signature "gutiar riff vs. drum banging" where they both get faster and faster thrn finally fall back into the orignal pace and nicely spotted weezday with this and death letter both songs seemed the same to me but i just thought it was the 12 bar blues niceee and amazing song | |

| I think it does... He's kidnapping a girl who won't like him, and who he can't have any other way. When she's there, if she doesn't play along, he's going to teach her a lesson. He has nothing good in his life besides her, so he's willing to chance taking her, because he can't go without her. | |

| anyone else notice how this riff is basically the "Death Letter" riff backward? Fast notes before three slow ones...and "Death Letter" is three slow notes before fast ones | |
