eels是个很有意思的乐队，乐队成员除了主创 Mark Everett 以外一直在换，曲风也是一张专辑一个样。Mark Everett 最擅长的就是创造性的使用各种各样的乐器和组合，颇有天马行空的感觉。他的歌还被很多电影使用过，比较有名的是 American Beauty 里的 Cancer for the Cure、 Shrek 里的 My Beloved Monster 等等。
Grace Kelly 原来是好莱坞明星，嫁给摩纳哥国王后成了摩纳哥王妃，后来在车祸中丧生。这首歌应该是借这个悲伤的事，表达了 Mark 在父母双双患病去世、姐姐自杀一系列的忧伤中逐渐走出阴影的心情。
Lyrics:
the cut-rate mime walking
through the dirty streets
of paris in the hot august heat
sun melts in the fake
smile away
just looking for a place to stay
the actress gave up all her old dreams
and traded up, now she is a queen
royal families don't have time
for that shit
your crystal ball
you keep it hid
the tractor trailer driver radios
help me someone
i'm out here on my own
truck drives in the black
night away
praying for the light of day
the kid in the mall works a hot dog on a stick
his head is a funny shape
his heart is a brick
taking your order he will look away
he doesn't have a thing to say
but me i'm feeling pretty good as of now
i'm not so sure
when i got here and how
sun melt in the fake
smile away
i think you know
i'll be ok
