Yes! Thank you! I've just recently started listening to The Decemberists, and I was disappointed that this song wasn't added. A week later, here it is. Perfect timing, albeit a bit eerie.
As for the song, it sounds like it's addressing the things LA is notorious for.
Slutty girls
"Oh ladies, pleasant and demure
Sallow-cheeked and sure
I can see your undies
And all the boys you drag about
An empty fellow found
From Saturdays to Mondays"
Drug dealers
"But oh, the smell of burnt cocaine "
As the song progresses, it sounds like he's getting more and more sick of LA. Especially the line "How I abhor this place".
