Missing one line. In between"she would look up at me and say she was lonely" and "I don't understand what she needed." Is it "I don't understand the world today." ??? In the lyrics you supplied. Anyway...great song!!!
come on bruce! this is the shit! "woman and love" woman and love, like war and the coo of the dove, the bird will sound, the cock will crow and grow, and all you get to eat is black, cos of what she has and what you lack, the love of self, the feelin of the groove of love, has made me bitter and a laughing hyena!
This is a beautiful song and one of so many Tom Petty greats but don't listen to this song right after a break-up, lol. Seriously, I did and fuckin song almost killed me (hehehe)
I'm surprised that among all these excellent observations I haven't seen any mention of the dynamite bass track, which was played by Donald "Duck" Dunn from Booker T and the MGs as well as The Blues Brothers and several tours with Eric Clapton. I'm pretty sure it was his only guest appearance on any Tom Petty recording and he did not disappoint.
i think tom petty is as good as any rock band then or now. what really sucks is we have 2 classic rock stations and neither play this song. its all top 20 from back then and this is a gem they have missed.
get xm radio, listen to deep tracks, you'll be glad you spent the money. it's awesome. best rock channel out there. that and little steven's underground garage.
Amen, Brother. One of my favorites from an astoundingly good discography. Petty & The Heartbreakers newly-released 4-CD Live Anthology is pretty wonderful, by the way. I do want to snag that fifth disc that is only sold at Best Buy, but that combined set is a hundred bucks. Petty's worth it though........
You sound like you know your stuff on Tom Petty. He was one of my favorite bands when I was your age. I went to many concerts back then but never got to see him. All my friends would talk about how awesome the concert was, he always sounded good live. This song would always make me think of a girl I liked all through school, we were good friends but she was in love with an older guy that was out of school. I wanted her to know how I felt about her, but she was in love.
How amazing is the drumming on this song?I have heard this song a million times and I just noticed how great it is especially the begining part.Mike guitar on it is also awesome.
@KISSANIMALIZE I love it too and I'm only 10 months old. This is my dad's computer I better get the fuck back in crib he is going to whoop my ass! Rock on!!
@KISSANIMALIZE Yep, great album. Check out Dam Those Torpedos too, another excellent album. That was the first Petty albun I purchased and I was about 15 at the time.
I love this song...he did break my heart to pieces

Tom Petty is so underrated. He doesn't get respect like Bruce Springsteen, John Fogerty and Neil Young.

@BRUCEBREVITZ 100% True! TP is a legend!
P.S: I'm from Canada, and we really love him too.
The last time I saw him live, it started to pour rain during his encore. And, even tho we were getting soaked, nobody left! His music is genius dude!
