Did you clean yourself
For me last night
Put the water out and donned a marigold
In your hair to bring me here

    The National at their ugliest, and I mean that in the best way. What a fucking nightmare.

    The live version of this with the ending bit of Cardinal Song tacked on to it at the end is perfect.

    up there with slipping husband, baby we'll be fine, and mr. november as among their most intensely emotional and devastatingly desperate songs. the guitars sound like they're screaming.[2]

    Just made my way backwards through the National to Sad Songs. My god this track is awesome. Such a male song. Basically him expressing how he feels shit because he hurt a girl who offered sex in hope to lure him into love or something. But really, that's not how she should be acting so he (reasonably?) turns the guilt back on her.
