One of the greatest songs of all time! Love the guitars and the lyrics. Super excellent live. I don't normally dance at rock gigs, but I can't help it with this one. This song is about a composite of a character that Jamie sat beside a Greyhound bus ride in the States, and Hugo Weaving in 'True Love and Chaos'. The idea is picking up a hitchhiker and he doesn't stop talking. The sound was to make the riff really chime with the bass and drums super tight. Kind of post punk, like The Fall or B-52's. I reckon they pulled it off brialliantly.
