I was struck by that line, too. Missing person, and something "missing" in me. Ray Davies often juxtaposes subtle differences in connotation...like in Animal Farm, where animals are playing and people are real people, not just playing. Brilliant is quite an apt word.
these fuckin artists.....a masterpiece ...if you were on the well ,..they have potential trip .....this album assured thier place in top ten of all time
Heard this song in the 80s as part of ,possibly the most depressing TV project I have ever seen - "Return to Waterloo" by Ray Davis.. BUT I loved every lump in the throat minute. Ray Davis unsurpassed Quintessential Englishman.
Simply .... The Master.
