I didn't realize I was ridiculous for thinking true love is beautiful between all different types of people.

I saw the decemberists last night in omaha, and the lead singer specifically said, "let's delve into the homoerotic trenches of our music." i'm gay and love them, just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

Really? Please point it out to me. The only line that implies tragedy is "Our rifles blaze away/we blaze away".
The lyrics aren't very satirical at all...

I don't think you get how self-aware the song is. It's an intentional caricature.

It takes an immature and romanticized view of the First World War? I think the one concept worth expressing in this song was "But I/Never felt so much life/Than tonight" however the overall tone of the song sort of spoiled it for me...
Hope that helps!

People, quit arguing about homosexuality or historical innacuracy or other irrelevant things and enjoy this amazing song.
