The song starts with one of those mellow piano ditties that are so characteristic of Bruce (Song C, Song D, beginning of "Show Goes On" etc…). However, with a few quick notes, the song bursts into action. It’s a surprisingly erotic song by Hornsby standards, in which the guy is suggesting that he and his partner go down to the beach for some floodlit action – "Whatever you want I want more" - and I don’t think we’re talking about beach volleyball here…

The main point about this song is a musical one – with elaborate and expanded electric guitar and drum solos, it’s clear that this album will be different to anything that we heard with "The Range".
