Just slide between those two while he's telling that story
Chorus:
B5 D5 E5
Play them as barre chords
You really only have to play the B5 and D5, but he slides up to E and it
even sounds cool going to F.
Hope it helps.

| The Fall song in question, which SM pretty much admits to ripping off, is New Face In Hell, it's a good one, check it out, but I actually like Conduit better. | |

| This song really shows how much Pavement was influenced by the Fall on Slanted Enchanted | |

| Malkmus is writing about the end of rule in Turin, Italy under the house of Savoy. Hier Proctor (not Herr Barockter) was the viceroy in the region, of Swiss/German lineage. I'm not sure of the context in which this is written, but apparently "Ray" was a local Italian nobelman who lived in Turin under the Savoy Rule and was fairly wealthy. However, and if my facts are correct, both he and Proctor were having daliances with many of the same women, and in particular, had been cockhold by the same woman. In a cheap attempt to elevate his name from the muck of public scandal, thereby saving public face, he wrote several articles in the local print media. However this thin attempt was a translucent veil to the general population. In order to keep the peace, and show his continued benevolence to the native Turins under his despotism, as well as to help his rival save face and maintain the love of the people, Proctor liberates a portion of the township under Savoy Rule. It becomes an Italian Run area in the lowliest portion of the city. The locals rush to inhabit the free land, because in their eyes living inside the Savoy ruled areas, or on the fringes of the city in their own homes, is not as satisfying as living free in a hovel. "Between here and there is better that either here or there." | |

| This song made me laugh out loud. At the end, he sounds exactly like a dying animal. Usually, people just say that to describe a bad voice, but in this case, that's really what he sounds like. Wild! | |

| True... although this and Fame Throwa (and maybe Two States and Nothing Ever Happens) are the only songs on S&E that sound like the fall | |
