Can't believe no one has commented on this yet.

I love the big booming sound of the guitar and the fast shuffling beat of the drum...but the Bukowski-esque lyrics are what make this song so great.

Now for the meaning...is it about one boozy girl with relationship problems? Or is each verse about a different girl? I think that it is about one girl that is trying to get out of her unhappy relationship/life.
