my favorite similes on Have One On Me:
I hope Mother Nature has not overheard Though she doles out hurt like a puking bird
Advance the tallow-colored, walleyed deer Quiet as gondoliers
The universe is getting loose Sodden spread from some leaden disuse Rushing, unhinged towards diminishing lights Like a headless caboose
Didn't you see my heart leap Like a pup in the constant barley?
and "we talk as soft as chalk" goes without saying. such similes are the lifeblood of the album, to me. it's weird how the lyrics have the most vivid immediacy of any JN album, but because of her singing style there are some lines i didn't notice till after years of listening. (i don't make a habit of looking up lyrics i don't understand, for whatever reason.)

J. Newsom's eardrum-puncturing squeak in between the words "burro, buck and bray" ... that squeak was a good lyric.
