this song is hugely under-rated! its sung with amazing anger in an album almost as good as automatic for the ppl...

I agree. Whenever I hear it I think of my girlfriends who get to lie in the arms of someone who kisses them gently; holds their hands; tells them he loves them; laughs with them; keeps their feet warm on cold nights; reads poetry to them; and then (for lack of a better phrase) makes love to them. I get to envision it. (Then the cad brags about it and says it doesn't matter:) He's just shy alright.
