Tim,

Do try to keep up. There are numerous threads over the last 6 months since I first heard it where I recognized it was "coconut skins" he was saying in the song.

The phrase "You can..." begins every single section and serves as the lyrical throughline so I say it's just as valid a possible title as "Chimneys" or "Coconut Skins". It's also textbook "Damo defies expectations" since the phrase is used ironically (disparagingly rather than in an inspirational or motivational manner).

Like I said guys,

Every songwriter's gotta have "A" song like that. It's a way of honoring the great folk tradition. Just like we all write at least one blues song. I seriously doubt we have to worry that the new album will sound like that one tune.
