John Darnielle didn't like Morrissey though, so I think we can assume that this character shares some of his viewpoints. He likes Morrissey now.

I also love that play on words, and in one live version of the song he switches the line to say "and we stonily read the graves" which I think is quite clever too. :-D

Morrissey – Suedehead Lyrics

18 years ago

My interpretation of this song was that the protagonist was the one in love, and the person he is singing about knows it and uses it to satisfy their ego. The other person knows that it is hard for him to have her hanging around and sending little reminders of herself, when he is trying to get over her. The part where he sings about the person reading his diary just to see all the things he'd written about her further shows the narcissistic personality of the person. I love this song, and I especially love the bit where he sings about the diary, particularly about how "sickened" he is. Anyway that's my two cents.
