Transcript from 98/11/08: "This is a song called Spirit Of The Stairs. It came from an expression I was told about when I was in France which was l'esprit d'escaliers, which of course means spirit of the stairs, and the spirit of the stairs is the presence that hears all the things that you should have said as you leave a room after a passionate confrontation with someone and you think of all those great, clever things you should've said. Too late, you made a fool of yourself.">
Recorded during the Try Whistling This sessions but never made it onto the album.
