Cover art for Lives lyrics by Modest Mouse

I noticed something about these two lines:

"And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I�d have half the time, do you mind?"

Ever hear of the expression "Being nickle and dimed?". He is saying that he has been nickle and dimed out of his time. He does an eloquent job of it too.

Just throwing in my two cents (pun intended).
