"I'm also in the camp that sees the optimism in \"Boats.\" I never saw it as (in Eric's words) \"a song to hang yourself by.\"   \"Optimism?\" you chortle. Yes, it's true. Eric may not have written it to be uplifting, but it has served that purpose on many occassion for me.  But tomorrow We'll run a little bit faster Tomorrow We're gonna find what we're after at last Feelings that we left in the past There's romance in the sunset We're boats against the current to the end  To be absolutely honest, \"Boats\" has been cited by more people as *the* song that spoke to them at one point or another in their lives. I'd wager that it may have prevented far more hangings than induced them :-)  Bernie \n"
