I love this song.

It's got all of the things you want from Bobby D.

An engrossing narrative, fascinating poetry and a truly tasteful melody.

I've already voted.

I've just realised he's singing, "Tangled up in blue." I thought he was singing, "China-loving Blues."

There's no one playing on this album who I've ever heard of.

Fabulous metre/meter in his lyrics.

I take it this track was an influence on Primal Scream?

I love this song.

Especially the bit about the parrot.

I don't like this as much as the first song.

by Fangirl Three Sat Feb 15, 2020 7:37 pm

I never did like this one quite so much as TUIB.

by Fangirl Three Sat Feb 15, 2020 7:37 pm

jinx!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 15, 2020 7:37 pm

It's quite Rod Stewartesque in places.
