The king of the eyesores?

I saw the movie Garden State sometime last year and really liked the music, but forgot about it for a while. The movie was on HBO last week and I have watched it twice since then, so I bought the soundtrack to Garden State on Sunday. I really like this CD and I listen to it in my office at work (very lightly).

I looked up some of the lyrics to the songs yesterday and they are so odd that I try not to think of them while I listen to the songs. Examples of the lyrics:

Song: New Slang Artist: The Shins
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'd 'a took to me like A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I’d a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never should have called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

Song: Let Go Artist – Frou Frou
Drink up baby downAre you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind'
Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a slideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't wait
You roll your eyes
We've twenty seconds to comply

You know the songs must be good if the lyrics are this weird.
