      Just want to chime in that it's not super-killer virtuoso stuff that folks love to rave about (he's like the freaking greatest guitarist ever dude!) but it's just so smooth and beautifully performed and constructed and TBH it IS also totally virtuoso. Just perfect and brilliant. This solo is ingrained in my memory as the signature of this song.

      Again, as I said earlier, Gilson Lavis is a killer drummer. I've been a drummer for 26 years, and I've always regarded Mr. Lavis as a very underrated drummer. More so, Squeeze were and still are a underrated band. But his overall approach to drumming is great. Awesome pocket. Brilliant fills. Always tasteful. All extremely vital and complimentary to the songs. Also, in general, its fun to watch him play. So much energy. Yes sir. There's a reason why he played with Jerry Lee Lewis, Dolly Parton & Chuck Berry. Incredible man. Sorry to get all fan boy. But the man deserves more cred. No one can argue that. Cheers.

    There’s so much going on in this song, but the thing that always floors me is how unusual it is to have a guitar break after just the first verse and chorus. And yet, for all that’s unusual about it, it makes sense here. It’s almost like it gives the listener time to breathe, to reflect, like they just had a shot of whiskey and now they’re contemplating life. Unexpected and totally perfect.
