Linnea & Andi love it. in fact, linnea thinks she is joey, poor lass. Can't hold a flame to king of the mountain though.

I've always wanted to dislike it, but it's somewhat of a guilty pleasure. And looking back I appreciate that it's piano driven, something we've been missing on all subsequent records.

I've always been a big fan of this song. Beautifully written and piano driven (a refreshing change). I would be very happy to hear something similar on What About Now, as opposed to the overproduced numbers they seem to favour these days.

Quoted for truth. Both it and King of the mountain should be performed on the next tour.

It's so good even Elton John covered it and renamed it 'Levon' sure and..ehh..wait, no that's not right is it..wait, where am I?
