My blood is working but my, my heart is

Tanned belly

The song is taken from 2 Samuel, Chapter 11.
After Bathsheba tells King David that he has impregnated her, David sends for her husband Uriah the Hittite who is fighting in David's army. David tells Uriah to "Go down to your house and wash your feet". But Uriah, being the faithful servant refuses and sleeps outside the entrance to the King's palace.
The reason David was telling Uriah to go wash his feet is so that he would go home, sleep with his wife, and cover up the pregnancy. That's where the "hit the crapper" part comes from... it's King David telling Uriah to go home to his bathroom and wash his feet.
I believe that the whole reference to "Dead" is the fact that starting with these evil deeds, King David's life starts to go downhill, leading to his death.
P.S. Frank Black confirms that this song is indeed about David and Bathsheba in a recent SPIN article, (Summer 2004).
As an epilogue to Bathsheba getting pregnant and Uriah getting sent to the front line and topped by the opposing army, David & Bathsheba's baby dies. Never say the Bible's light reading.
Shed is an easy rhyme with dead.
I think it's David telling her, "You're place is pretty small, baby. You can hardly breathe there. Come on over and live at my place."
that's correct, he sees her bathing and brings her over, impregnates her, and then he asks uriah to go over and have sex with his wife, so it seems as if he impregnated her, but uriah didn't agree, he sayed that it isn't fair for him to rest while other soldiers are dying, so david sent him to die in battle.
(corrupt lil' bastard)
and other than that, this song rules
And it's "I can't think of nothing/ I'd like to do a nursery rhyme" like melonforecstasy said.
The song has depressing lyrics, but it makes me bob my head everytime I hear it.
(Sorry if this is a triple post, hope it's not)
One question I have: any idea what the line "you're suffocating you need a good shed" means?
