The first is Bob Dylan's "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", which makes a passing allusion to chess pieces in this verse:
"The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
Statues made of matchsticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge"
It's a beautiful song and a beautiful lyric (I love the last two lines of that verse), from his fantastic 1965 LP "Bringing It All Back Home".
The next song is a very bizarre They Might Be Giants track from their self-titled 1986 debut. I think the song speaks for itself...
Thanks for reading! :)
