Walken Lyrics

I have to say, I always assumed the singer here was maybe questioning his relationship, rather than just feeling hunky-dory about it, with lines like "I was talking to myself about you".

That said, he does end by saying she's just right, but I don't think it's as straightforward as you make out. But what an incredible song, when I first heard it, I just wanted to play it to everyone I knew, like Listen to THIS!!! It starts sounding like a lovely country song, but then that guitar comes in during the verse and just takes it somewhere else, and you don't know WHAT is going to happen next. I love all the musical interludes, and when it stays on the one G note for ages and then the beat comes back in. Genius!
