Cover art for The Shivers (I've Got 'Em) lyrics by Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

I clearly hear: "Peel off your clothes," in the 2nd stanza, "I was the loneliest captive of your silhouette," as well as well as "I am bugging, so pass me the slug," in the fourth stanza.

I really can't figure out what the meaning of this song is. Several of M & tNSS's songs have the some themes of violence and sex, like Real Naked Girls and Hello Vagina. I think this might mean the line between sex and violence/love and hate is very thin. I also get the feeling it's about obsession, and how you grow to hate, who you love, because you can never have them. The lyrics seem to call for a more extreme interpretation than that, however.

i might be dumb, but i'm pretty sure it's "evelyn your skull pops like a walnut".

"walnut" matches up with the simile of evelyn's spine cracking like a wineglass much better than "woman", and just generally makes more sense, since we pop walnuts open much more frequently than we do women :)

The beginning "bad case of the shivers refers to withdrawl of pills.
