great on 'slanted', great live. both 'she shivered like a vein slashed bright and new' and 'when it looks like a wife's ex-plot, we'll cover all the rugs in cheap perfume' are gaudy-bright romanticism in their weight and rhythm. fucking great lines, and then the way the guitars rise and hover at the end of those lines to lead us to the chorus is genius. magoo did an interesting version where they dropped the chorus into slow-mo...but nowhere near as good as the original.
