About This Track
It is written as a list song that comes back to a chorus line at the end of each stanza. The song is filled almost entirely with poetic symbols, such as in the first line “with your mercury mouth / in the missionary times”.
For his Dylan biography, Bob Dylan: Behind The Shades, Take Two (2000), Clinton Heylin interviewed Blonde on Blonde drummer, Kenny Buttrey. Buttrey gave this account of the recording of the song: “He ran down a verse and a chorus and he just quit and said, ‘We’ll do a verse and then a chorus and then I’ll play my harmonica thing. Then we’ll do another verse and chorus and we’ll play some more harmonica and see how it goes from there.’…Not knowing how long this thing was going to be, we were preparing ourselves dramatically for a basic two to three minute record, because records just didn’t go over three minutes… If you notice that record, that thing after like the second chorus starts building and building like crazy, and everybody’s just peaking it up ‘cause we thought, man this is it. This is going to be the last chorus and we’ve got to put everything into it we can… After about ten minutes of this thing we’re cracking up at each other, at what we were doing. I mean, we peaked five minutes ago. Where do we go from here?”

Watcher Not much you can say about this song, other than I am glad to have been on the planet when this was given to us. The essence of being human, distilled into some words and chords, this is amazing.

Greatest love song ever. True.

ralfsu With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row, and your magazine-husband who one day just had to go, and your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show - who among them do you think would employ you ?

sogletho there's that thin, wild mercury sound. The words aren't bad either.
