It was 4am and the light was grey. Like it always is in paperbacks.
Oh there just aren't enough words to describe how much I love this song.
In a strange way I think it's one of the most melancholy songs I've ever heard. Even the great Elliot Smith didn't manage sadness in quite this way.
Current favourite aspect:
It's this magnificent trumpeting of sexual bravado. And then it ends with this fantastic line that completely undercuts it. It is the dictionary definition of loneliness in just over 2 minutes.
