I used to have two accounts. They were easy to spot though.

It's a wheezy kind of soar.

I like the wheezy soar. This song needs as much dirt as it can get, considering that cheesy chorus. Same reason I don't mind dirty uncle Ed on verse 1 of Lightning Bolt.

I wish I could pronounce "through" like Ed does in this part of the song.

these might be Ed's best 'change the world' lyrics. Those songs are hard to write without them feeling stupid or naieve. He does a really good job here

This is now one of my favourite songs on the album. It's still got some ironic things going on, but I'm beginning to think they work.

Someone on the Pit (I know, I know) suggested that this song might be partly driving at the economic collapse / private sector etc. Makes sense.

This is still my favorite on the album. Who cares how it sounds live. I agree Stip. The lyrics are great.

Very good song. I wish it was dirtier, it'd be so much more enjoyable. Love the insturmental break. This is one of 3 reasons I have to play LB.

At first this song's chorus really bothered me, I felt it was trying to be too anthemic and came off cheesy. However, now when I listen to it I hear a much more laid back song, a sort of motown feel, being played in some small club with a relaxed atmosphere. I think the chorus and song as a whole sounds much better with a relaxed, groovy, motown state of mind.

Sometimes this song just hits me and gets stuck in my head in a brilliant way... other times, it just passes right on by without much notice. It constantly fluctuates between a 4 and 5 star song.
