If you Love Bruce, besides being an amazing guitarist, you know he's also a brilliant poet/lyricist. What's so amazing about this song, is that you don't notice (at least I didn't foe some time), that there are no rhymes in the verses. The only rhyme is in the chorus. Genius.

I hear you. You've got to listen all of his songs. He's the best songwriter ever. Check out " child of the wind." His first album " Maybe the Poet is gay." The album Slice O Life " hungry in the City". There are so many. I've followed him since around 1982. Enjoy...great guitarist too. Thank you Bruce

The story behind this song...which he shared at one of the shows I saw him play...Reno, I believe: .He was tromping around one evening with a friend(Sam Phillips) and she noticed his daypack was full of things like rope, flashlight, first aid kit, etc....she asked him why and he responded something along the lines of 'well, i want to be prepared when the apocalypse hits'....she responded with ' i would want a bottle of champagne and two glasses'....or something like that.

God, I love Bruce. I've seen him only once in concert, but as soon as humanly possible, I'm going again. That night pretty much cemented the unflappable notion that I physically NEED to be a professional musician in my soul. It was amazing. If you haven't seen him live yet...you really must. It's relatively life-changing!

I'm sipping Flor De Caa* and lime juice, it's three a.m. Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes Milling humans' shivering energy glow Fusing the spaces between them with bar-throb bass and laughter If this were the last night of the world What would I do? What would I do that was different Unless it was champagne with you? I learned as a child not to trust in my body I've carried that burden through my life But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose If this were the last night of the world What would I do? What would I do that was different Unless it was champagne with you? I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all That was the straw that broke me open If this were the last night of the world What would I do? What would I do that was different Unless it was champagne with you?

Story behind the song? The version I heard is he was dining with a woman, possibly Aimee Mann and she asked what he had in his backpack, he said rope and other stuff for the end of the world. She laughed and said if it was the end of the world, she would only be drinking champagne with the one she loved.
