Jack White : "There are songs on our albums that I really like that don't go over well live. They're slow...people don't respond to them. It's a shame that I can't play "A Boy's Best Friend" or "[[Sister, Do You Know My Name?]]" often because they stop the show in a bad way or something. I try to sneak them in once in awhile." | Jack White : "There are songs on our albums that I really like that don't go over well live. They're slow...people don't respond to them.

Lyrics
I just don't fit in this place; their thoughts cast me out of here. Their home has run out of space; my mind's already out of here. Won't you come along, dear? Won't you come along? Words that are spoken alone, phrases you will never hear. Empty rooms and a telephone that I will never use; never fear. I am all alone, dear. I am all alone. My dogs come sit next to me; a pack of dogs and cigarettes. My only friends speak no words to me, but they look at me and they don't forget that a boy's best friend is his mother or whatever has become his pet.
