This is probably the Femmes' darkest song. It mixes sexual frustration with violent urges. Ultimately he rejects the violent part of him "you know you've got my sympathy, but don't point that thing at me." This turns disturbing though when he indicates that the violence may be channeled inwardly... perhaps suicide: "the day is in my sight when I'll take a bow and say goodnight."

Acoustic bass simply rocks, by the way.
