i love this song. I think its very pretty actually, its about youth, and theres a bitter sweetness to the personal refelctions Roger put into it, the way he'd scuff up the streets with his buddies with "endlessly restless feet" and "broadened our minds more in the pool hall than we did in the school hall".... the sadness of the breakups on those bleaksteets, or first time witnesses of the nightlife-- of the lights and of the fun... wanting to be something great, and how even though your troubles are less back then, there seems to be all the more reason to live and feel the extremes of life, laughing crying, living, dying.
