Maybe the bes Mountain Goats song ever. It almost made me cry when I first reall paid attention to the lyrics.
Parts of the song are cryptic, but it's clearly about the death of a close friend. I'm not sure what "Belgian Things" are, but maybe they simply refer to the corpse of the deceased. (After all, they are refered to in one line as "bones from deep down in the fertile crescent.")
The best lyrics are late in the song. My favorite line: A tiger's never gonna change its stripes. I guess, I guess, but Jesus what a mess." Something about the way he sings that line is so heartbreaking.
