“In this song, Neil tries to come to terms with our collective neuroses.”—Robert Telleria, Merely Players
“Some people can’t deal with the world as it is, or themselves as they are, and feel powerless to change things—so they get all crazy. They waste away their lives in delusions, paranoia, aimless rage, and neuroses, and in the process they often make those around them miserable, too. Strained friendships, broken couples, warped children. I think they should all stop it.” (Row the Boats)—Neil in Merely Players
