I'm also a big fan of this song- definitely a song that I've grown to love more through the years. It's the defining Christine song along with "Morning Rain" IMHO. It's an insidiously rebel yell of a song for me ("I'm gonna win, I'm gonna beg, steal or borrow..."). But what puts a lump in my throat is Rick's guitar solo in the middle. It starts out mournful but ends on a playful, optimistic series of notes- absolutely the most perfect guitar solo ever on an FM song. Not to disrespect Lindsey or anything like that, but I couldn't imagine this song could have turned out any better under Lindsey's direction.
