Even though i have a hard time getting a set meaning to this song I can always seem to relate to everyone of his songs, especially this one. But to me this song is basically describing how "This world wears you out" and even though he had a number of things going for him things still go to hell whether their to his own faults or not, usually it's a bit of both

This song is great, like everyone of their songs are. This is a great way to start off audio of being. It is a shame that MGB doesn't have any hits in the US, and i have to pay an extra 10-20 dollars on cd's cause they are imports, but mgb is my favorite band

This is probably the best introduction to an album ever made. This song makes you want to be a man of action. It makes you want to do something. I think this song is actually about Shakespeare's Hamlet. Do you see why?
