This song completely passed me by until I heard em play it live and it is one of their great ones. Not the horns, not the “Walk on by” back up vocals, no, the “She said don’t turn me on again, I’d probably just go and get myself all gone again.” is what gets to me. Especially live where he Chris improvises until he finds himself singing “She’ll probably find herself born again”.
It’s a religious experience in one of the Hold Steady’s greatest and most potentially (stay) positive songs off Seperation Sunday. Drugs and god and god and drugs -add guns and you’ve got Warren Zevon!
