This song was inspired by where Neil used to work. When he was in his late teens he took up a job at the fairgrounds there..

"Midway hawkers calling "Try your luck with me." Merry-go-round wheezing same old melody. A thousand ten-cent wonders, who could ask for more. A pocketful of silver, the key to heaven's door. " Try your luck with me/ --obviously stating about his jobs, which were the Ball Toss and the Bubble Game. A pocketfull of silver was all you needed to have fun, hence a key to heavens door. I really like the song. It has such a nice melody. I don't know about riffs or guitars or anything like that, but it is really just a nice put together song.
