Smothered In Hugs Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Erodeo 

Cover art for Smothered In Hugs lyrics by Guided by Voices

This song is at least partially about one of R. Pollard's students.

Maybe some element of the student teaching the teacher. The ol' switch a roo! Perhaps in summer school? You know, when you fail a class because you slacked off or never showed up? Maybe that's why "something was eating everyone" and "the sunshine fund was low" Who wants to be in school during the summer, bummer man! Maybe it's about Bart Simpson? Just kidding.

With Bob's lyrics you can never rule out any possibility of interpretation.
