The fantastically named Lydia Loveless comes across like Neko Case covering a Go-Go's song on this fast paced alt country track. In classic country style, it's a song about heartbreak, but rather than making use of the more standard motifs (The dog's dead, the bottle is half empty, she's gone...) 'Toothache' is operating within more complex, foul mouthed, self lacerating and self recriminating parameters. The incoming heartbreak is associated with the more prosaic headache, and toothache, which are also incoming.
