Slumped over the barstool blues.

Really strange, sinister lyrics.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

It's like Neil's won over the object his affections through badgering and self-pity and guilt-tripping and now regrets it it bitterly and wants her to really leave him because he "believes in her".

Another miniature gem.

This is the kind of narrative that Bob Dylan would've stretched to 10 minutes.

It is over.

It was pleasant, if musically undistinguished. I could have done with a few more rockers to liven it up.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.
