I think I like the Greg Laslow version, it's a little more upbeat.

A Morphine song without sax??
unpossible
 

It's good to think outside the sax once in a while. Although I am a sax-a-holic.

I can't believe I gave this a "2" last time.  I must have been on Morphine.  It's definitely a -1.

Your argument contains a logical fallacy.  William Shatner is mocked for everything he does.

Yup, that was my first thought when I first heard the vocal - I had to get up and check my streaming player display to see if it was Leonard.

I'll probably be playing this song for my daughter in about 15 years (if she hasn't killed me yet).

well....on the album this track was perfectly making sense imo - it was a nicely calm break AND (sort of) the intro to thursday. which is is with "the beloved 2 string subsonic bass and that slutty sax" :-)

I was listening closely to the lyrics and I noticed he is singing about an ex who is now a celeb.  Is this based on a real experience? 
 
He was never very forthcoming with interviewers about his personal life.
