Perhaps "my mother the garbage bin", is a reference to King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, where Jeff says
"And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor".
In that light, the line could mean that the mother is a receptacle for a lot of verbal, emotional, or even physical abuse from the father. He lays all his negativity, aggression, and disappointment (his garbage) in her.
Also, did anybody else notice that this song had been originally titled "Up And Over We Go", and the next song is "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea". Meaning that if the song was left with it's first title, the album would have read UP AND OVER WE GO IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA. I don\t know if that holds any significance. Perhaps the two songs are related? Perhaps it gives more credibility to the theory of this album as a concept album? Either, I just found that to be an interesting fact.
