Its waltz melody and story closely resemble the Beatles' Norwegian Wood.
The words
A wry tale of a tense romantic encounter that ends with the singer walking away.
The singer recounts an uneasy encounter with a lover that turns on small, awkward exchanges and a sense that neither party is being straight with the other. The story unfolds coolly and with deadpan humour, and ends with him leaving and addressing someone else entirely. Its lilting waltz melody and storyline closely echo the Beatles' Norwegian Wood, which many hear as a playful reply. The arrangement is soft and spare, built on gently picked guitars.
