Billy said the very first version of this song had a melody identical to Laughter In The Rain. Billy didn't realized he ripped off Neil Sedaka until his band started howling when they heard it. He was embarrassed and quickly came up with a different melody.
Well, I must have a different My Lives or something, because none of these demos are on there. Not Big Shot, not Honesty, not She's Always A Woman. None of that...Hmm...
Cool, thanks DundeeBhoy2007 for posting this. It's interesting to hear that the record version stayed quite close to the demo. It's mostly the sax part thats a bit different here.
Great rock drumming

These are great demos that are true bootlegs. Never offically released!
