sounds like a fun group of people. disenfranchised drunks, or at least soon to be drunks. it puts a good image in your head, all the people from all corners of the world, lifting each other up, a huddled masses sort of thing

[blueballsredhair]

This is a song about making friends

[TheMetalEntomologist]

this is way too indie for me,

[ImmaNerdfighter]

Probably my favorite Mountain Goats song. It was the first Mountain Goats song I ever heard, and it's still as good as when I first heard it.

Well, both "color" and "colour" are considered appropriate by modern standards but since they both cognate to the Latin word -- the spelling of which is "color"-- deference of origin establishes that "color" is the superfluous option.

drink some of this.... (hands you a bottle of jameson)

[TeamGreenBurrito]

It was originally spelt as "color" in Latin -- indeed it was not until the unnecessary elaborations of the Franciphone languages (Old French, specifically) that the "u" was added.

This is brilliant.

I was supposed to get some work done today, but then I made the mistake of turning on this song. Not gonna sleep for weeks now.

This is a 6-month-old comment, and the point is probably moot now, but just FYI, tweakers and alcoholics are not very similar at all.
