Always loved this band.  Beautiful guitar work on this one.

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

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" :-)

He was never very forthcoming with interviewers about his personal life.

This is the perfect example of a Morphine song I don't listen to by choice.

One of their better songs. If you haven't heard it before, I'd recommend checking out Greg Laswell's cover of this song. You can hear it on Amazon.com.
