Hall and Oates (1974) Better Watch Your Back

Almost a pop song mixing dreamy prog chorus textures with a terse electric guitar rhythm for the verses almost mirroring the dynamic shifts of a marriage from paradise to a nightmare and back. The lyrics are all about a husband called Jack who acts like a child while the wife holds everything together, slightly one sided and a cliché it still adds to the vitriol that fuels the verses before the choral harmonies during the hook. Just another gem from 70s H and O that shows when their peak output was.
