Neil Finn could sing the phone book and I’d buy a ticket.

What attracted me to the song many years ago was that it has - for lack of better description - a Mersey Beat feel like it was something from Liverpool in 1964, only updated.

Then I read where Tim and Neil grew up harmonizing on Beatle tunes.

Later I found out that Neil’s favorite Beatle song is Across the Universe. Both songs mention a paper cup in the first verse.
