Passionate, Jerry sounds like he is sining this as a desperate warning amidst a party that slowly catches on to the singers desertion and by the end..

Persian Jerry in full effect. Blowing lyrics left and right but his playing is truly magical on this version. I am a big sucker for TLEO and musically this is amazing. The others are correct in that lyrically it needs some serious help. This is still worth a +1 for the playing is sublime.

One of my favorite versions, great guitar work from Jerry. This is one of my favorite songs and this version is right near the top of my list.
