It's pretty much about a little black egg that the songwriter found in a nest, and didn't want anyone else, particularly goldurn Mary and Lee, to see it. It's not especially psychedelic, just sort of taunting and childlike. The story behind it is in the liner notes to the Nightcrawlers compilation, which is good since none of the other songs on that record are nearly as good. Apparently the "goldurn" was really supposed to be a "goddamn", which seems odd given the childlike nature of the rest of it, but maybe it makes sense. Most of the covers leave it out or change it to something else (it's just "oh, oh, what can I do" in that there Tarnation version). That's one of the few songs where I go out of my way to possess every cover anyone's ever done of it. So please tell me it's not on the new Eagles record. > > Second: what the hell does "Built to Spill" mean & why would the band name > themselves that? That I don't know, but I have always had an inexplicable aversion to that band name which has kept me from trying to like them, which I think I quite probably would.
