Ex- why you? How do you get Courtney Love?? I'm pretty sure it has to do with his EX wife, Chris. I think: Mary=Chris... Lamb=Billy. I don't think the 'problem and deep shit' are about a baby- but about a sucky relationship, marriage and what not.

'i am made of shamrocks, i am made of stern stuff' = mr. BC, born on St. pattys day.

it's a killer song. Personal- i think it's just about his hate/hurt towards his [ex] wife.

@BettyGirl I agree. How does problem and deep shit refer to a child? Honestly, some people. LOL

@BettyGirl 100% false. He was still very much married to Chris when this song was written and they were on good terms. It’s not about her at all. It’s about Courtney Love.
