xaled So, this song has been stuck in my head for years, for no apparent reason.

I take it to be a song about an asshole who's partner has reached their limit and kicked the asshole out of their shared living situation.

Asshole is defensive. Says it is the partner's fault, but knows that's not really true.

Or maybe it's like Mike has repeatedly said. It all meant nothing. He was just coked up and spewing delicious words.

And it's been stuck in my head for years, with no context to validate it, until now.

It's probably neither here nor there, but I'm satisfied.

Soul Coughing [Verse 1]
Shooed out like a housefly
This house was half my mind
I don't dispute the doubts you've outlined
But it's my right to waste your time

[Chorus]
And these things, It stands to reason these things
Won't kill me
Your feelings, the spattering, it bores me
Don't tell me

[Verse 2]
Burned in on the 8th of May
She was spectacular
I walk a half-moon by the bus stop
Sliding cross the street to her

[Chorus]
Three stings, sequentially three stings
Won't kill me
Your spieling, gracelessly is my grief
Please tell me

[Verse 3]
Throw out the la-la by the busload
Match the photo to the description
I do indeed, and shall continue
Dispatch the shiftless man to points beyond

[Chorus]
And these things, it stands to reason these things
Please tell me
Your feelings, oh gracelessly, It bores me
Don't tell me

delax I get it now. It's about avoidant attachment. Can't be close. Can't stay apart. 251028
