Dr. Dog - “Jackie Wants A Black Eye”

This is one of the catchiest songs from Dr. Dog.  It’s got a Beatles feel with the background vocals and piano.  And it has a Dylanesque deep, depressing nursery rhyme melody.  I love it when you get bobbing to a sad one.

We’ve been hurtin’ so long
that our pleasure is our pain.
We madly in love.  We madly insane.
Yesterday’s love defines you,
And today that love is gone.
Tomorrow keeps you guessing.
The rollercoaster is rollin’ on.

I really hope that I don’t find out later that this is a cover.  I’ve been wanting to find that seed that would grow into the appreciation for Dr. Dog that I think they deserve.
