"Oh Diane" would fall into that category, but "Miranda" sure wouldn't!
This song is friggin' brilliant, and one of the best songs Lindsey has ever written, lyrically.
I mean, wow... there is SO much going on there, I can't believe anyone would ever use a term like "fluff" to describe it!  Tell that to Suzanne Vega ("Luka") and Pat Benatar ("Hell Is For Children")!
By the way, I should add that I don't feel that "Miranda" is about child abuse, but rather about a woman who was abused as a child.

And further to add...
I think the disconnect between the dark lyrics and the sunny, bouncy music is genius. Kudos Linds.
