Cover art for Clemenceau lyrics by Pinback

I think it's maybe about being sickened by a junkie and/or a drug dealer, or just some trashy-type person.

"...your broken teeth, like a mangled screen and your burnout smile on your ashtray face."

Herion? Meth? Maybe a little of both?

There's several things in the "Have a..." list part of the song that seem to point to this, too ("a little medicine"). "Have a pager" -- who else has pagers today other than doctors and drug dealers?
