A blues on Shot of Love, placed just before the closing song, Every Grain of Sand.
The words
Trouble is everywhere, in every street, home and institution, and nobody can escape it.
The song is a catalogue of the world's troubles, moving from cities and politics to everyday life, each verse adding another place where misery and danger can be found. The refrain simply repeats the idea that there is trouble everywhere, with no solution offered. The tone is grim and matter-of-fact rather than preachy. It rides on a heavy, straightforward blues groove that suits its plain, relentless message.
