I changed the first line, you're totally right.
I think he married a girl because she got pregnant "young mothers eyes", and not he's stuck in a miserable marriage, like you say. That's why he dug his own grave I guess.
The first verse, I left it as poison sunrise, as I think it seems like a sense of forboding after the midnight lovin' kind of red and hanging over him.
I don't know what a 'cow town' is, but I can't think of what the words are here...it could be 'between the curtain' and 'bearing all in the dark'
I'd like to know what was in the treetops with him, other than 'mumblemumbles' lol.
The last verse he is watching her sleep, but he can't, he just watches her breathing and wishes he was elsewhere.
I think it's a song about 'you've made your bed and now you have to lie in it'. |

Hi, I'm sure it's 'I'm back up with my next of kin', 'not make up with my Mexixan' wich makes a bit more sense and you don't get a mental image of him making out with a mexican.
wear I never thought I'd sink -this- low

isn't it just about leaving a place because you've outgrown it? all the songs on the album seem to be about death...it would make sense if it were about a guy looking back over his 'irish style' drinking funeral |

Is it a family member or his lover though? the 'flesh of my flesh' makes me think family, but the 'heart beating next to mine' is confusing |

It's so patronising when he says he is 'speaking in metaphores', we get it. He does that in another song too. And saying that hollywood is over and then having a hollywood sound to the record is a bit of a confliction. |
