Lots of memories associated with this, and indeed, the whole album.

Funny, I recognize the talent. This band is tight. Really tight. The music is original and bold. But I just can't get into it. waz wrong with me? No matter, am happier than a clam RP plays plenty of TKs. |

But now, I dunno - my energy is different, and what used to move me is more close to the edge of irritating.
Still love the lyrics though. Their best lyrics are still the best. Still waiting . . . Facts are useful in an emergency . . . . Facts just twist the truth around . . . Can't think of anything more relevant in these days of "their" facts vs. "our" facts. |

This song is only 40 minutes too short. Why would the Heads peter out like that? The bright side for anyone needing the sheet music for this...they really only need two measures worth of paper. Geeez. By the way...I love the PSD button right now.
