I used to think that this song was a good fit for this category, but I've since learned that the song isn't about what I thought it was about.
"While some have misinterpreted the lyrics to mean that the man in the song is stalking an ex-girlfriend and breaks into her apartment to terrorize her, Ed Robertson has said that this is definitely not the case. The person in the song and his girlfriend are still together and happy, having "bought an old house on the Danforth" (Danforth Avenue in Toronto). However, he goes back to visit "the old apartment" "where we used to live", and winds up breaking in to reminisce. Although recalling "broken glass", the "crooked landing, crooked landlord", and other disadvantages, he nonetheless feels nostalgia for "fading memories / blending into dull tableaux"."
One of my all time favorites. The guitar playing is at times frantic and passionate but then cool and calculated like the anti-hero in the song. You can hear the violence of his act.
