Davies describes the ultimate fantasy - rags to riches to rags and on the run with a life full of romance. Who doesn't have their little dreams while at work, wishing they were someplace else?
And if that dream is too perfect, it doesn't seem as real - I guess that's why this dreamer's luck runs out - like it does in real life!
It's funny though - if you're a Supertramp nut case like me, you know that while Davies talks here about the rate he gets paid, an earlier song, 'Poor Boy' says, 'One drop of rain, they complain, it's the same about the wage they're earning...', essentially not caring about the money.
Very nice song and the chorus at the end was well done as well.
