Since the new album came out a couple of months ago I've had this song stuck in my head nearly every day. What a simple, elegant, sublime piece of music.

The line 'She said I've hammered a smile/across this pasty face of mine...' is heartbreaking, and he sings it so beautifully. It reminds me of one of the lines in Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together: 'Angel, don't take your life/some people have got no pride...'

Genius!
