Lyric discussion by Michendo 

@ctlizyrd that is a magnificent interpretation, my friend. I have been singing this song for decades not really knowing the meaning. Last night I dreamt I was in a karaoke bar helping someone sing it. When I woke up I thought I should look into the meaning and it has me in tears because it is so deep and you have nailed the interpretation. I guess on some level it is like life on Mars which also has the same effect on me.

@Michendo I'm sorry I'm only seeing this now. Thank you for your comments.

I am also moved by this song. The Flat Earth just captured me back when it came out, but this song in particular also showed that Dolby was far more than just a guy that made a funny one hit wonder. To hear him do it LIVE, was even MORE amazing!

Funny you mention karaoke, I just used AI tonight to strip the vocals from this so I can sing it! ☺
