Keith Reid is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, and this underrated song is the one he identified as his favorite in an interview. But then, nearly all of his songs are seriously underrated, aside from Whiter Shade of Pale, of course. This one has a lot of feeling in it. The lines "I'm buying a ticket for places unknown/ It's only a one way; I'm not coming home" is one that expresses perfectly that kind of feeling that is connected to seeing a toxic relationship for what it is and finally arriving at that place where you just want to be free, to fly away from it once and for all and not come back.
