I don't really know why I did this, except that seeing the song performed live really opened it up for me. The album version is great but it's so heavy live.

This was a perfect soundtrack to washing up this evening.

And when my cattle turned on me, I was knocked. back. flat. I was knocked out cold for one clack of the train track.Then I rose, a colossal hand buried, buried in sand. I rose like a drover.For I am, in the end, a drover.
