In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
And I don't mind your rabid doggy
And I don't mind it when it bites
Cos the days and nights and the nights are longer
We're watching days turn into nights
Yeah!
I buy the drugs
I light the fire
I am your main supplier
I am your man and I buy the drugs
I can be the jump start for the car parked in your mind
Cos' You left the lights on all night long
We can drive for miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles away
Have you ever smelt the clothes her sexy clothes?
Have you ever got to know her
Like I do?
Have you ever reversed roles?
Gave up control?
Stayed home and let your woman
Support you?
Yeah!
Yeah!
I buy the drugs

I am your man and I buy the drugs

and miles and miles and miles and miles away

Actually, Dick Valentine is a cokehead, as are most of the guys in the group. I just saw them live about three weeks ago, for my birthday, and they were all high on coke.
Really? How do you know? This would be so dissapointing to me...
Never mind, I've head that he isn't - and read two interviews that appear to confirm it. E6 are all about their stage persona. Behind it, they are really chilled out dudes.
