It's a decidedly progressive, elongated, mini-cab drive through the sodium-lit city streets. Your cab driver is one Brett Anderson and, rather than opining on the growth of inward migration on his "manor", he's blasting the purple prose about a filly that he knows and supplies narcotics to. Don't know if that's better than casual racism but rather than being sordid, it is, in fact, a rather romantic and beautiful song.
Epic, spiraling guitar leads the way on what was was effectively Bernard Butler's farewell to the band. It explodes into a frantic squall of guitar, drums and expressive bass before drifting away into ambience.
A perfect partner for the equally epic 'Stay Together'. But that's one for another day.
