This, could be one of the greatest story telling songs ever. Fun fact…..the lyric line about how the preacher left In the middle of the service ‘cause death was one thing but women made him nervous…..hands down, and I mean hands down one of my fav lyrics of the 90’s!
Sounds like a bunch of gibberish until you actually listen to the lyrics and the story, full of metaphors and comes full circle at the end. Dave Pirner knows how to write them 👏
So many don't listen to the lyrics. Just the music. I'm one of those many. But damn these are great lyrics
And underrated song from an underrated band. Possibly my favorite Soul Asylum song.
Oh my God. You're one of those that say things are underrated that aren't?
This band defined my taste in music, back in 96'. Damn it's been a long trip
So you're done with the trip?
Legend band ..lyrical genius and ace musicians
l love this song, It remember me a nice period of my life, and I dont't know why, but the movie with DI Caprio about the poet Rimbaud ..

Genius song. I love these guys!
So wonderful .
Very,Very Good, One of my Favourites.
One of the greatest narrative story songs of all time. It's been reported that O. Henry rolled in his grave with envy upon hearing this.
The inventor of the candy bar?
@@ge2623 Well, the author, of course, but I assume you were joking, naturally.
@@xmillion1704 Yes. I love the works of Igor Snickers.

Frankfurt ❤
Love this so much. Underrated. The story is just dark as it iis.
Bloody good band

Agreed, absolutely love how the song comes full circle. I'm sure there are other songs like this, but I don't recall any if so.
❤❤❤
Who rhymes funeral and urinal? Dave Pirner, a goddamn genius, that's who.
LOL Yes indeed
Perfect.
I miss the days when the audience shut up and listened.
The guitarist in the striped shirt is like John Q Everyman, I swear I've met like 3 dudes that could be his identical twin 😂
