Sometimes dead-nuts-on-vocals and virtuoso musicianship fit the bill.

But honesty, sincerity, humanity and little imperfections appeal to me the most.

Eeee-freaking-gads. Maybe some heroine would help my ears modulate to this annoyance.
Somebody out there be my heroine.... come sprinting over the broken glass and pour hot wax into my earholes. Anything. Just make it go away.

Aaaaaaaahhh! PSD. I feel better already.

"She is sublimation"...

Freud described sublimation as the diversion of psychic energy derived from sexual impulses into nonsexual activity, especially of a creative nature...

profound... love this song...

She never really did that much for me until I saw her live. I have a whole new respect for her and I am listening closely. Brilliant songwriter, an all out force of barefoot dancing.

The Mission did a great, passionate cover of this in the 90s. Indeed, that was my first exposure to the song, and until I read the comments here I thought this was Patti Smith covering The Mission :o). This original is pretty damn good, though, an easy 8.

Experienced Pearl Jam cover this at Bridge School Benefit 2010, I think? It was awesome. This song has been covered quite a bit as you can see by other responses below.

Those are good, but the best I ever heard was from The Feelies.

Yeesh. It was pretty good until the end.

The only part I like is the end.

Could you please explain to me just what the hell she's ranting about with the phrase " the transformation of waste "?
 





My guess is that it's the "waste" of the body. The energy/spirit of the body is transformed from the corporal. E.g. "why must not death be redefined?" Or.... maybe she's just taking out the garbage...
