| Lyrics & Music: Stuart Adamson | |
Title lifted straight from a Stevie Smith poem because I liked the images of someone appearing in control but in reality floundering. This came from the same demos as “Over The Border” and I think it’s another of those “close but no cigar” songs. I think during this period a lot of people didn’t want us to be the Big Country we were and maybe we were trying to be something that wasn’t us. — Stuart Adamson, Restless Natives & Rarities liner notes |
