Hear the words a jumble try this tongue twister
Kevin has a caterpillar squeezed between his fingers
Hear the mailman come, see what he delivers
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were afraid
And you lie with a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
Now I know when I've had enough
Could curl up and sleep on the floor
But now I'm riding the train a hundred miles an hour
Feels like this train might never stop, ooh
Watching static on the television
When the morning comes
And you wait and it makes you feel strange
As if you were deranged
With a look to the side
And you say I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I've had enough
So far, we've come so far
Come so far
Far, so far

    General Comment:There is a live version of this song where Neil introduces the song by saying it's about the morning after a big night out when you wake up and see static on the television. He acknowledges that in America it's more likely that you'd wake up to an exerciser infomercial. He says, "People say my songs are dark, but when you wake up with some girl shaking her butt in your face, THAT'S dark!" I love it.

    To the best of my knowledge, Neil has not battled addition to anything. I've always thought this song my be about his strained relationship with the band/fame. I think he sees fame as a loss of freedom and control. So, anyway, that's what this song means to me.

    General Comment:A bad relationship. A certain person. Something that you know you shouldn't do, but have no control over.

    General Comment:Neil Finn doesn't fail to bring a simple message
    "And you say I was addicted to the drug
    But now I know when I've had enough
    So far, we've come so far"
    When you have a drug addiction like me you feel like you've come so far when you deicide you want to quit.

    General Comment:Addictions to anything. This song speaks to me. I have my own addiction, and it is a struggle every day. "Feels like this train might never stop" is every person's battles with temptation.
