“Sometimes you've got to revisit the classics. Astonishing song. Brings me out in shivers every time. One of my favourites to sing lustily and painfully along to. I love how the 'long dark blues' refrain pops up on John Henry Split This Heart later on the album as well.
"My kind of life's no better off/If it's got the map/Or if it's lost". That lyric always got me and it's even more poignant now after his death. This song's so good that the bit at the end where he shouts "Will 'o' the wisp!" 9 times out of 10 doesn't make me think of Kenneth Williams and Mavis Cruet.”
