Satisfaction - a much sought after condition. The Rolling Stones struggled to find it but in this song Van seems to be almost there. A great funky / blues sound and much underrated track from an equally underrated album. Van said at the time of being knighted that this was the album he was most proud of when the musicians and the sound all came together resulting in this exemplary piece of work.
He sounds like a theologian when he sings "Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst, But you got to change it, On the inside first, To be satisfied". Ordinary religion dresses up the man from the outside whilst Christianity, by contrast, changes the man from the inside out.
