Some have argued that Seeing Double is the standout track of the album. Hunter's reverie is bolstered by Peter Frampton band member Bob Mayo and Clarence Clemons The penultimate song of the LP is about a mixed up sad character that is along the lines of All of the Good Ones Are Taken. It is a live improvisation in the studio and was recorded live in the studio as well. Bob Mayo is the standout on the keyboards for this organic song and Hunter has a soft spot for the tune seeming like a memory about a hangover. He likes the song and it is the only organic song on the release. It is a sad little song about feeling that you are at the end of your rope.

Seeing Double
(Ian Hunter)
Doctor, doctor, am I alright?
I keep on stayin' up - all through the night
Smokin', drinkin', watchin' T.V. 'til the light
It's been a long time since I slept
All I seem to think about is what I ain't yet
I'm seeing double
Doctor, doctor, am I in need?
Seems like there's somethin' wrong with me
Underneath this stone lies a different guy
My head says yeah - my body says no
I can't seem to get up - I can't seem to go
I'm seeing double
In the middle of my life - it's just a little strange
All those people - they're alright - if they'd stop messin' with my brain
I remember when the world was new
Doctor, doctor, what can you do?
I'm tired of runnin' - give me something to slow down
Ain't been to bed in over a week
I can't catch up son sleep - it's playing hide 'n' seek
I'm seeing double
