i have heard every song adam green has released solo and w/ the moldy peaches. i think he is truly an incredibly song writer - but of all the songs of ive heard this one is my favorite. its been the #1 most played song on my itunes for years running and i somehow think it will remain there for years to come. its obviously less ironic and complex than his other songs but its a masterpiece of concision, and when im really feeling bad it has always cheered me up. the progression of the lyrics is flawless in fact if you examine them closely you will see how much is packed in there - im not going to cornilly spell it out for you just look carefully and you'll see.
perhaps he will never return to these sort of terse, honest songs, i realize they are less "cool" but who knows - even if he does not - this song will always exist.
