This is a biography of the band Gene Loves Jezebel. It's pretty self-explanatory and is one of the easier Mountain Goats songs to understand.
The last part of the song sums up the moral of the whole album: "However big that chorused bass may throb You and me and all of us Are gonna have to find a job. Because the world will never know or understand. The suffocated splendor
Of the once and future goth band." The basic point doesn't even just apply to goth music. The idea is that you can be passionate about something, but no matter how good you are at it, you probably won't become famous.
