Used to think “Escape” was crepey, but than I decided he was taking a sophisticated look at this sort of thing. Just listened to “Babooshka.” Will ponder a while.

If you know Spanish there’s a 70’s song called “Ramito de Violetas” which has been covered in different genres (personal favorite being the electrocumbia version from the 90’s by “ Mi Banda el Mexicano, since its a fun staple to play in parties) and could easily fit with these two songs theme wise.
Songs is about a failing marriage where the wife begins to receive love letters from a stranger who turns out to be his husband. He never says anything because it makes her happy to have a secret admirer.

"Escape" is a better lyric, maybe even a good lyric? I like that the characters in it have weirdly awful nouveau riche tastes

Right, the lyric is gently mocking the characters’s romantic pretensions, or so it would seem.

I sang Escape at my 30th wedding anniversary party so I've got to vote for it. I have to say though the more I listened to it, the more it's plodding beat irritated me. Still better than Babooshka though.
