Cover art for Avant Gardener lyrics by Courtney Barnett

A lovely rambling stream-of-consciousness about... an asthma attack? With a kind of mary jane theme (weeds, bongs, can't use the asthma inhaler), as well as other drugs in low dosage. A hypochondriac who is also heavily under the influence.

I get the feeling that she dies. What's with the slow fade-out otherwise? I think the drug references just reflect society's position in the drug environment.

I've heard the opinion that the 'star' of this song is full of herself, but I don't get that vibe. Anybody?
