Horse Feathers – Curs In The Weeds Lyrics 15 years ago
I listened to this a first, a while back, and immediately loved it, but never really got a meaning from it until after i read the lyrics here...
I think the "lover of things", is his child, who has fallen out with his father, after the divorce. The father is the narrator, and is asking for forgiveness... He couldnt provide what the kid wanted, and the child resented him, ran away...

The second verse reaches out to his grown son, a father of three, as well. possibly divorced now too, who's son is up to the same things the grown son did as a child...
the last verse, to me, is asking for a truce with the narrator's son, but the bridge seems to say that the son has failed better than the father. "Marrow without bone."

It describes the two family system perfectly.

"to live in a house with no home"
