this song also reminds me with the jangly guitar of some Natalie Merchant 10000 Maniacs. she could do this justice.

Actually when you find me in here is when I do get bored when I am at work. So I suppose you are right.

Funny progress with this song for me. I started to like it more as I heard it more. Now it's on the decline. The more I hear it the less I like it. "this is why", "this is why", etc. "come hell", "come hell", etc.. Kinda getting tired of the sound. I'm not speaking of the message just the tune itself. Maybe it's just me.

Does anyone else hear this being a good song for Morrissey to cover?

Here is another band that it has become cool to dismiss. But, Bill knows best, I think.

I reserve that for Björk . These guys get a higher rating.

I loathe this song and its lyrical content also the way it is sung.
