Anyhow, he talked about how she led him to the guest room, and then went to bed. He talked about lying there for hours wishing / imagining that she would come to him in the night . . . but she didn't, and he alluded to some form of self-gratifiication (which was hilarious), and then I think there was like a big picture window, and some kind of beautiful view inspired him as he lay there, and then he wrote it.
I've heard that story at a couple of gigs and something has always bothered me about it, and I just realised what it was, for him to have done that as a guest in someones house is nasty.
