I've always found this song fascinating. It's perfect, yet it seems so out of place.
This whole album is great huh.
and - The Damned did a version, wheres thaT?!!
Well, Mr. Devlin. I was sorely tempted to post the Damned's version - from "Anything", but a big 45 hit in addition - but on reflection there is so little difference between the two I was (am) inclined to let the groove reside as is.
The return is in the song.
Acually, Brushback. Having listened to it repeatedly - which is pretty much part of the joy of hosting a blog - I have come to the belated conclusion that Bryan was experiencing some kind of epiphany. Right here. Right fuckin' now.
That seems the most likely reason for it.
I am not an outwardly religious fuck. but it is the one explanation which holds water. Every chord is drenched in it.
Now. Arthur would never in a month of Sundays buy into that. Never. Ever.
I love Arthur. But on this occasion you just have to suspend judgment. Dub. Jah bless and all that shit.
Step aside, Arthur. I am prepared to buy it.
