"I saw the film clip to this song and mum was in the lounge room with me and she said this song was about the Dresden Bombings, then I told her that the band was called the Dresden Dolls, not the song, and she said:

"Oh, well, maybe it's about all wars."

So I replied: " Mum, it's called Sing... I highly doubt it's about bombings."

She said: "Listen to the lyrics"

So then I listened and watched the filmclip and one of the statues in the film clip was a kid with those gas mask things they used to wear when places are being bombed..... So, maybe my mum isn't that daft after all :)"
