The Mountain Goats – Color in Your Cheeks Lyrics 16 years ago
I figured this was about a rehab house. You cant sleep for shit when your comming off an addiction and will drink just about anything to cop even a little buzz to dull it all somewhat.

The Mountain Goats – Standard Bitter Love Song #8 Lyrics 16 years ago
Ok so I was talking to my brother about this song last night. When he aske me what I thought some of lyrics may mean. He thought that the line "god will give him, blood to drink" was about him hopping he would be confronted by the new boyfriend and get to punch him in the mouth. I disagreed and offered this response: I think the lines,

"saw the two of you leaving
didn't want to follow behind
but i could see the rest of your evening
Burrning in my mind"

speekas to him seeing the girl he loves with the new guy and him just waving her off as a lost cause while the following little chourus:

"god will give him
blood to drink"

is his hope that the new guy goes down on her while she is one her period. Which makes him smile.
