Lyric discussion by riter 

well it must be my state of mind but i see so many jeff tweedy songs as amazing love songs, some of them are tortured love songs, for sure...

but this one is like love that you can completely count on even in at the end of the world as you know it, where you feel so cold and alone that you just want to go off alone, because well, the world has ended as you knew it...

for whatever reason I do not find this song depressing, and dannng the melody is so beautiful, and the way he phrases the anchorman line....ahhh, great song

To be totally honest, I think this and the first verse of Deeper Down are the only good lyrics on Wilco (the album). The songs are all good (except Sunny feeling--sorry), but jeff's really gotten lazy with his poetry. I hope next album he'll go back to writing stuff like You Are My Face and Handshake Drugs and Ashes of American Flags and She's A Jar.

Dude are you serious? This is lazy poetry? You need to read up a bit and open your mind man.
