Lyric discussion by LidoTRK 

When I saw Roger Hodgson play this live in Norway 2011 he told us that the song was created from three separate pieces that he couldn't decide what to do with, so he put them together and Fool's Overture was born.

thank you for straightening that out.

Yes, thanks Lido! That makes it easier to understand :)

@LidoTRK I don't doubt that possibility. But it's so seamlessly congruent, that it almost seems impossible, not to be intentional. Whatever, the case - I'm so glad he produced it. This piece and Asylum are my top 2 ST favorites. However, I love them all. Loverboy never got the kudos it deserved. That song is brilliant.
