this is a great opening song and completely sets the stage for the rest of the album using Kevin Barnes' wonderful theatrical sense.
in the beginning of the song, Barnes is expressing his love to his new alter ego, Georgie Fruit. He begins devoting more of his time to this persona, becoming "happy in the head", but noticing that Georgie may be occupying more than his head with "but we've become material". Once the song structure shifts, the speaker changes to Georgie Fruit, who wants to go out and do things the old Kevin would not do. the line "i'm cracking my sweet love" seems like it means Georgie is ready to take over. The ensuing bombast of white noise is the assault on Barnes' personality, which Georgie is completely taking over. By the next song, Barnes is no more and Georgie is the central figure of the album.
