Taken from "Choreographed Man Of War" 2001
"I was making a wish
And a witch was watching me
How did I know she was there?
I was invisible, impossible
Only observable to children
But I felt her glare
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow
I was trying to run
But the earth was holding me down
Like a hammer and nail
Leading off with a ring
So I wouldn't remember
A universe predominantly female
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow nothing in the dark
She saw the shadow
She saw the shadow"
The start of this song reminds me of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" from Joy Division but more lo-fi but then we enter the "Rawwwk" zone when the song burst to life half way through with a full band. A great song, very catchy and the lyrics are just amazing. Up there with Bobs best.

Lyrics seem written to order (ie relatively straight) with a somber mood. Sounds to me like Bob wrote the tune to set lyrics; the effect is a conventional song with an above-average hook.
Solid playing and McPherson and Demos were one of the best rhythm sections he's played with.
Give me Bob power trio with good players- ass-kicking guaranteed.
