Hey Man, Now You're Really Living by Eels

The strength in Eels material comes largely from E's lyrics. It's easy to reach a consensus that 'Susan's House' is genuinely eery and gets spookier the more you listen. You wash down the bitter pills of curmudgeon and hopelessness with gallons of dry, dark humour throughout the music. E is at his best on this track when handing out back-handed compliments to the outer world.' Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor/cry your guts out til you got no more/Hey man, now you're really living', if this song was an instrumental it would sound like the beggining of a kid's tv show, complete with smiling fluffy dinosaurs.
