The whole song was transcribed in the September '98 issue

Me too. I don't normally hold with this 'our tune' sh*t, but this particular song has a very strong personal resonance for me.

It's pretty synthy though, i'd have thought, despite the presence of the great Levin?

For me, So is the best thing Gabriel has done by a million miles, there isn't a bad moment on it and some of the lyrics cut to the quick.

I used to have a pretty good tab for this but don't know if it's still around, I'll have a look. Definitely Mr Levin on this, played on a P bass with a disposable nappy pushed under the strings according to the man himself.

"The Super Wonder Nappy Sound", as documented in Levin's excellent book "Beyond the Bass Clef".

This appears to be the main refrain that I found years ago on Tabcrawler, there doesn't seem to be a tab for the outro and I used to just jam along. Must relearn it.
