I wow not about here about this tune...
I dont understand, to be it is a wonderful piece... Short but so sweet and soft...
I agree it does not fit the aqualung's concept album... But I'm still glad Ian decided to put it in there...
I think it kind of speaks for itself... I'd like to have a demonstration of the soft shoe shuffle dance... So I could have an idea of what it looks like...
I also wonder if the nurse here is the same person has in the song ''Nursie'' from the living in the past album??
@bookends_smile The "soft-shoe shuffle dance" refers to what he did in response to the next line "brush away the cigarette ash." He dropped ash on his trousers and wasn't sure whether it was burning or not, so the reaction of brushing it away looked like a soft-shoe. In my mind, almost cartoon-like. Can you imagine? I used to smoke cigarettes so it immediately made sense to me.
