I think this song maybe HMHB's masterpiece. "And they reckon the last thing that she saw in her life was Sting singing on the roof of the Barbican", is (as Peelie once pointed out) an absolutely heartbreaking image. Nice one drivingthecow...
Thank you! Fantastic video. Been waiting for someone to do A Country Practice, perhaps the definitive HMHB song. The sheer tragedy of dying, and the last thing you saw was Sting singing on the roof of the Barbican is utterly heartbreaking. All hail Nigel Blackwell.Genius.
Best video on youtube by far.
