How could you lose him? He's not a set of car keys. It's not like he's incon-f******-spicuous.

I adore this song, first heard it in Snatch in 2000. I had always thought it was a song from 60s; I have no idea it was from the early 80s!

It has a beatlesque feel to it i agree, yet it sounds even more modern at the same time. F*** it is timelessly hypnotic. It is an absurd statement i know but i’ll stick to it,. By the way, the scene in snatch were this is played is peak
cinema. The song is just magic

100%, The song + the context happening in Snatch for that scene was just perfect. I rewatched Snatch a few months ago, first time in probably 15+ years, so the impact of that scene in fresh in my mind.

This song just gives an amazing vibe, like a lot of these older bands.

Yes, it is magic. Crazy time signatures, top notch musicianship, i dare say it is perfect. And it is about heroin…. Lmao. I have listen to this song for so long and it still mesmerises me. It is hypnotic in ever sense of the word. You feel so good when you listen to this.

I worked at an old church in Pittsburgh and always asked the person playing the organ to play this song. Would have been epic on that instrument.

I've been thinking about this song recently, how I like that waltzy vibe it has. So I tried to find songs with a similar rhythm. Here are a few I found.
[Enya - Caribbean Blue](https://youtu.be/Jl8iYAo90pE?si=BT60ypkt5xXAnvgH)
[Kate Bush](https://youtu.be/QOZDKlpybZE?si=6JrxGIg5PIFk3RGS)
[Beirut - Elephant Gun](https://youtu.be/SWSz_PAfgNc?si=euvBu7moAueeG1QB)
