goo-boo-koos? is that 70's lingo for doing drugs or something? Well eitherway, this is probably one of my favorite songs in all of Third, yet the subject matter always makes me doubt my liking of it. Alex must have been in a really bad relationship to rather shoot a woman than a man.
Also, the third verse makes no sense to me. What does he mean by busted across the bridge? Another drug reference to being caught with them? Or am i just assuming every 70's rock band was doing drugs some time or another?
@nelson325 You're way too stuck on the drugs thing. The album was much more about the band falling apart, largely from disappointment on their lack of success w/ such fine material. And it's 'We do argue beaucoups', not the nonsense lyrics here. And Chilton was not in a relationship that made him write that lyric. It was something a female friend randomly blurted out and he put it in a song.
