The Old 97s – Book of Poems Lyrics 14 years ago
I was just listening to Hard Luck Story and thought it sounded familiar. Remembered it was a line in this track, so came here. I think you're right

Phosphorescent – The Mermaid Parade Lyrics 14 years ago
I got the impression that he was suggesting that Amanda should be jealous because he is looking at other women, who are naked - hence "did you see me today?" he wants her to see him and feel jealous

The Mountain Goats – Golden Boy Lyrics 15 years ago
B*llocks to the deeper meaning, he just likes Golden Boy Peanuts and Christianity. It's just a joke. Its just like Seed Song and lots of others on his early stuff:

and i know you're waiting for the ironic ending
and i know you're waiting for the punchline
and i know you're waiting for the rain to come by
so am i

Completely pointless lyrically but still genius in every way.

The Mountain Goats – The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton Lyrics 15 years ago
Really do hope its a joke!
Firstly, this song has nothing to do with religion, Satanism or otherwise.
Second, in disallowing your son to listen to this band, you are surely doing exactly what the song warns against.
And thirdly, listen to The Mountain Goats' newest album, "The Life of the World to Come" before you make a judgement. Here is the tracklist:

1 Samuel 15:23
Psalms 40:2
Genesis 3:23
Philippians 3:20-21
Hebrews 11:40
Genesis 30:3
Romans 10:9
1 John 4:16
Matthew 25:21
Deuteronomy 2:10
Isaiah 45:23
Ezekiel 7and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace

Then you should probably move on to the previous album "Heretic Pride" and the EP before, "Satanic Messiah" when your eyes are opened to Darnielle's genius.
