I've got to admit, I have no idea what this song means, but I do remember a couple of things from a radio interview years ago (at least 15).
Little Bones was the name of a cat in the book ' The Last of the Craxy People' by a famous Canadian author named Timothy Findlay.
His most popular book was titled ' Famous Last Words' (see verse 2,line 3 of the song)
