I remember reading somewhere (maybe the Join The Dots booklet- I sold my physical copy of Join The Dots a long time ago) that this is about Tolhurst, and Smith actually sang the song looking at him when he was passed out. I think Shiver And Shake is about him too. Lol was basically a useless deadweight alcoholic in the band by this point as everyone knows. The random keyboard noises are also somebody's cat walking on the keyboard.

I was so hoping they would play this live last year. Reeves would have ripped this up.

I checked my copy of Join the Dots.... Babble wasn't about Lol. But it does say it was Boris' dog that walked over the keys and Lol was oblivious that he was replaced by a dog...
Poor Lol.... <--- sounds like an interesting band name.....heh.

OK, thanks for clarifying. I admittedly don't have the best memory, but I guess there was an iota of truth to what I said LOL.
acousticwarrior I love taking out my JTD because the paper smells sooooooo good. Also I was surprised about the Lol comment, really. I didn't think Robert would print anything negative, even an old quote, after 2000 even he and Lol reconciled. Then again.......

@ Shiver and Shake
I think I remember Robert Smith saying he had just gotten a phone call that had driven him all up the wall when he ran to the studio screaming "Put on Shiver and Shake, I´m going to sing it now!" Except that was just one of his pranky stories, of course...
