Like Matt, I am having trouble with the meter of the last line. I want to read it as either:


don't SUFFerING feel BETter IN a BRAND new SUIT?

or

don't SUFFering feel BETter in a BRAND new SUIT?


In other words, it's hard for me to promote "in" without promoting "ing." Even if I read "suffering" as two syllables, I still have this problem as I think the rhythm it sets up leads naturally to the second reading.
