No other song, by anyone, captures the feeling of surrender at the end of a love affair that has finally breathed its last, than Damage does for me. After the fighting and the collapse and the anger.

The perfection of the brass is unbelievable. Lyrically after all the torment and fury and despair through the album, it has such a calm mourning acceptance that for all the invocations of she-deities from the dawn of time, ferocious feminism and sassy southern liquors, it boils down to "oh... you really are going". 'Her skinny legs could use sun' is like a tired soldier firing a little volley after the battle is lost, when compared to the viciousness earlier in the album. 'I've got a ticket to your late show' feels to me like that last kernel of doubt (will we meet again in 5, 10, 20 years?). And such a perfect pairing with Twinkle as its epilogue.
