4th Time Around by Robyn Hitchcock from Robyn Sings
“One of Uncle Bob's”,
this performance gives the listener a glimpse at how the singer
interacts with the lyrics. Robyn (who turns 61 tomorrow, by the way) replaces the line “I asked her how
come” with the “and when she did come” from later on in the song
and initially continues on from that later point before he realizes he's in the
wrong place, stops and asks the audience for help, and continues on
from where he left off. It's one of Dylan's more convoluted and dense
lyrics, one that justifies the poet label that's sometimes too
automatically placed on him.
