The best song of an otherwise mediocre album.

Quite good, it has lots of Bowie-influence on it.

The lyrics are fantastic and imaginative. The music is powerful and beautiful. This is an underrated song.

I agree! It just struck me how much I like this song, and how many times I must have heard it on RP, and never clicked on it! I gave it a "7"!

Hoping for a new release from these guys! Superb fun live and loads of great songs on this cd. Beck session musicians.

I agree--with the first half. There are reasons I'm not a big Rush fan, but Geddy Lee's voice isn't one of them--this is pretty good, I think.

I dunno...hearing this song right after "Heroes" kind of reveals exactly how much of a ripoff Ima Robot's "Scream" is when compared to said song by David Bowie. Granted, there are a lot of much worse songs to be "inspired" by (read: steal from), but still. :p

I like it too. I think my favourite from the album is "A is for action". First heard of them right here. :)

Heh, all this time I thought this band hailed from the 80s, based upon the sound.

I agree. I don't hear Geddy Lee. If I had to compare it to something it would be that he sounds like a male Yoko Ono.

It's not the higher pitch in the voice that bothers me. It's the excessive "vibrato" that I hear in it.


Geddy Lee is one hot chick!!

The Geddy Lee reference is especially in the somewhat forced, high vibrato, I think.

same here, redeyespy, same here. i think it's funny - anytime i hear an artist that has a singer with a slightly higher-than-average voice, i always check out the song comments just to see how many people have compared the band to Rush already.

This song gets stuck in my head for days at a time. The only thing that makes it bad is that I don't have the CD to 'scratch the itch'.

Edit: Does it sound like their spoofing the Smashing Pumpkins at the end of this song???

Definitely not gonna be everyone's cup o' tea, but I liked most of this album, particularly Ex Girlfriends in Black Jettas
