Band Quotes:
Barry: "This is one of our earlier songs, and one of the first songs that kinda had a
little bit of a celtic feel creeping into the music so this is kinda going way back…
and its one of the few songs we wrote in ¾ time which we learned people can't
dance to … they start waltzing right…"
Carter: " Which looks really funny…"
Barry: " Anyway it's a song about this boys worldwide search for "the girl", and the
girl proves illusive for him, in each verse he goes to a different place to seek
wisdom and advice and the first person he meets up with is a bartender kinda your
traditional source of advice and then he goes to a fisherman, whose sorta a wise
old fisherman, whose used to luring things on a hook, elusive things he can't see,
and then he goes to a priest, to another country across the sea to a priest to
ask his advice…"
Terry: "Cus priests know about chicks…"
