Justin Wolfers, meet Tim Wheeler, the CEO of UK property group Brixton.

Mr Wheeler said the opening lines of the American songwriter's All Along the Watchtower "seem to capture the beleaguered mindset of the UK commercial real estate market".

For those of you who don't know them by heart:

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

I think that Wheeler is comparing himself to the joker, here. Presumably not this one.
