about

Good Thing has had a few evolutions since it was first written. It took a while to come into its own. We spent a lot of time experimenting with different feels and structures, but it wasn't until we hit the record button in the studio that it became something magical. We dropped the tempo pretty dramatically and Harvey channelled some kind of epic madness through his guitar. It's all too easy to get lost in the pain that's so palpable in his playing. There's something so haunting and mysterious about it now, with those intense chords and subtle horn lines drifting in and out... then Parmis's piano outro transports to me to another world - it's so creepy and ethereal that it makes me feel as though I've wandered into a dreamscape. - Jez

lyrics

There is something you should know
Something I should have said before
But would it change anything
Now you got your mind made up
You are the closest thing
To love that I've been
Why you gotta go
Take it slow
Where we gonna find this
Good thing

It's a sin, why'd you go
Good thing
I don't care where you been but
Why'd you have to got to go
Good thing

Now it's the strangest thing
I feel like I'm in a dream
But when I open my eyes
There is sorrow lying next to me
You are the closest thing
To love that I've been
Don't disappear
Got what you need right here
Where we gonna find
This good thing

It's a sin, why'd you go
Good thing
I don't care where you been but
Why'd you have to got to go
Good thing
