"This song came out of a jam. It's probably the most guitar heavy song on the record, although not in a traditional sense: Henry's drove that runs throughout the verses is almost unrecognisable as a guitar. Lyrically, it was one of the first songs to draw heavily from T.S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland', when then became quite a large presence in the lyrics. It deals with what it is to grow old and not have made peace with vicious aspect of a life lived, whether that be impending death, unsettled relationship or practical worries."
