This was originally my fav on the album but hasn't aged as well as I thought it would. Much prefer the latter half of the album (Swallowed Whole > Yellow Moon)

Oh yeah
Well this just strengthens my overall belief that Ed is generally a bad lyricist. Or at least modern-age, excessively verbose Ed.
For a song as obviously silly as this it doesn't bother me much, but when a song is shooting for poignancy and he does that clunky, awkward grammatical restructuring to fit a rhyme pattern ("Comes Then Goes" has several examples of this) it stands out much more to me
