Song Notes: It's funny that right after I mention that long song titles that don't have much to do with the song is cheating, that I've got this one up. Still, though, when you've got a song this good, it's OK to cheat. This is the last track on We Shall All Be Healed, John Darnielle's first at-least-semi-autobiographical album, about the group of drug users he grew up with. It's a really great song, and it's got a bit of that sort of defiant sense about it that I tend to eat up. I'm really fond of that album -- it's one of my favorite Mountain Goats records. - Rev.
