The album is named after a short story by Charles Bukowski. It is also a line sung in the closing track, "As Much as I Ever Could".

Famous quotes containing the words bring me, bring and/or love:
“Bring me wine, but wine which never grew
In the belly of the grape,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (1754–1812)
“And what is Genius but finer love, a love impersonal, a love of the flower and perfection of things, and a desire to draw a new picture or copy of the same? It looks to the cause and life: it proceeds from within outward, whilst Talent goes from without inward.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
