The Beast and Dragon...adored?

I was listening to Spoon at their free show this afternoon, and I was wondering why it is that I like them, with their super simple drums, sparse melodies, and often obtuse lyrics. They're definitely a minimalist band with a less-is-more approach, this doesn't usually appeal to me. But I'm a huge Spoon fan, they're the only artist besides the Beatles that I own more than 2 LP's of. I was reflecting on their song The Beast and Dragon Adored, and I couldn't come up with a way to summarize what it means to me, or elaborate on the lyrical content. I think the same thing can be said of Spoon's music that can be said of any good book. If I could sum it up in a few words, you wouldn't need to listen to them.
