Elliott Smith – See You Later Lyrics 15 years ago
So I don't get how it would be "pretentious" - it's pretty much the opposite of pretentious. Pretty Elliott.

Elliott Smith – See You Later Lyrics 15 years ago
Just wanted to state that "Night Train" is a really cheap "low-end fortified wine" - basically alcoholic syrupy koolaid... like Mad Dog 20/20. It's considered a "street wine."

So the phrase "I got a choke chain, made out of Night Train" IS brilliant like Song Guru said. Meaning, he's boozing on cheap wine in order to keep the memory of her away, dragging himself down, handicapping himself.
