| The Mountain Goats – My Favorite Things Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| This seems like a somewhat-rare TMG song that is completely blissful (a lot of his 'happy' songs have sad under-skins). The singer is in love and because of this, he loves everything around him. | |
| The Mountain Goats – Baboon Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
Favorite line from this song has to be 'if you stand up straight, you can see the house leaning." To me, it sounds like this couple is trying to make a beautiful thing out of something obviously crumbling and bleak. They both know their relationship is too far gone to save, if they remove their rose-colored glasses and stand up straight. |

| The Mountain Goats – The House That Dripped Blood Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
It sounds like the house is a metaphor for somebody's body going through an autopsy. "Go over every inch of space With the patience of a saint" Maybe someone close to the singer was murdered (maybe a drug overdose? Maybe they were a heavy drinker? "look beyond the broken bottles" "Not everyone can live like millionaires"). That's what I've always thought of when listening to this haunting song. |
