The key is to get a constant chunk-chunk-chunk rhythm going while playing the notes tabbed. Where Then there is the preamble to the chorus (which as it happens doesn’t appear to feature in the version Jeff played at the Mercury Lounge New Year’s Eve gig in 1995 except prior to the final chorus): B|---------0-0----0-0----------0--------------------------| G|---------X-X----0-0----------X-----------------0-0-0-0--| D|----2>4--7-7--4>2-2-----2>4--7---7>11-11-11--7>9-9-9-9--| etc. A|----X-X--X-X----0-0-----X-X--X--------------------------| D|----2>4--7-7--4>2-2-----2>4--7---7>11-11-11--7>9-9-9-9--| (In my peculiar notation > means slide.) In the version I have of Jeff playing this with the full band (Selinas Sydney February 1996) he skips the doodling around at fret 11 and just slides from fret 7 to 9 hits it about a dozen times and moves right into the chorus. *Chorus: B|---------------3-----------------------3---| G|---0--0--0--0--3-------------0--0--0---2---| D|---4--4--0--2--2-------------4--4--4---0---| A|---4--4--0--2--2-------------4--4--4---0---| D|---4--4--0--2--2-------------4--4--4---0---| "...........I woke up in a .............my mind a blur ....."

La chanson évoque des souvenirs flous et des expériences troublantes, où l'on se réveille dans une situation étrange, avec des images de chaos et de désorientation. Le protagoniste éprouve un sentiment de perte, se remémorant des paroles essentielles tout en ressentant le poids du destin qui semble le suivre jusque dans ses moindres actions, comme prendre un taxi vers une destination incertaine. Le texte évoque également des thèmes de vulnérabilité, de souvenirs qui s'estompent, et d'une recherche de réconfort à travers des instants de joie, représentés symboliquement par un verre de champagne. Une atmosphère de mystère et de mélancolie se dégage, autant à travers les mots que par la musique, créant une image d'un voyage intérieur tumultueux.
