Nuts about this song.  Great ballad of sex and violence.

Love the album artwork.

7.  +1 for the album art...

Lovin' it, given my frame of mind. 

Love this music and Cover Art!!

This sounds like every other Iron and Wine song...with horns.

How can you not shake your moneymaker to this song?

Sam Beam aka Iron & Wine performing at the 2009 Ottawa Bluesfest

The best song of Iron & Wine!

I'm not sure that commenting at this juncture is even worth the effort...but, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) makes some of the most lyrically challenging music around these days. My criticism of his early output boiled down to "get a proper band that can do the music justice." He did with Calexico, IMHO, a band that could make almost anyone sound very, very good. In this instance the (rather short) album is sublime. I think Beam needed a couple of very sympathetic guys like Burns and Convertino at this juncture in his career, and they made him soar.

Great, nice start at RP this sunday morning.

Love Calexico.
Iron & Wine gives me the Icks.
It is definately not a good combination.

A match made in ... Hell.

Oh yes!

The vocals at times remind me of Dan Fogelberg around 1977.

love iron & wine
love calexico
love this song!

the sum is less than the parts; this sounds like old George Harrison solo stuff, but not as good

I don't care, say what you will - this song just makes me happy. Reminds me of Vic Chesnutt's Until the Led, another great song. I guess the horns got me. 

How can you not do the sultry booty shake to this?

Love Calexico.
Iron & Wine gives me the Icks.
It is definately not a good combination.

ADORE the horns; especially that honkin' bari sax!

I like the music, especially the subtle lap steel guitar back in the mix but the vocals don't work for me

PS: Love the album's artwork

Love Iron and Wine.
Calexico leaves me cold.
The combo doesn't work.

Yes! I love anything Calexico touches!

Although she played to not listen
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
Ever could offer the same

Some say she knowingly tasts like a recipe
Although so foolish and willing
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
Bow as the curtain goes down

Coddle some men, they’ll remember you bitterly
F**k ‘em, they’ll come back for more
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
Then came a knock at the door

“I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
Bound like us all for the ocean
I hope that she’s happy I’m blamed for the death of
A man who would take her from me

Some they saw in me innocent poetry
Some, some say they’ll never be certain
But still it’s been written, a history of lovers
Given and taken in ink

Coddle some men, they’ll remember you fittingly
Cut ‘em, they’ll come back for more
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
Then came the knock at the door

Louise came to rescue me, missing the irony
Blood made her heart change its beating
I hope that she’s happy I’m blamed for the death of
The man she found better than me

i give it a "0". this sucks. this kind of music makes my feet sleep.

genius. counting the days till we go to see I&W perform in a church! Tick tock tick tock...
