emotional...melancholic...a real masterpiece!

Possibly about "Bubbles" Rothermere, widow of newspaper proprietor Lord Rothermere. She could be found around London nightspots, a funny/sad eccentric figure who - like the other artistic creation she inspired, "Bubbles" De Vere of 'Little Britain' - was living on past glories as an actress, boozing on dwindling life insurance money and battling obesity and a heart condition. She passed away in 1992.

this song never fails to make me sad...

It is amazing how a song can be sarcastic and emphatic, funny and sad - all at the same time.

The man has such an insight into the human condition. A beautiful and sad song about a life built on looks, money, materialistic things. Love Neil's voice - Great Post.

it's just a beautiful combination of words and music. it's a tale of a loveless marriage and it's consequences. i'm tired of getting a lump in my throat over the violin in this song and the fact that i can't play it front of anyone without the risk of filling up. it's just one of those incredible songs

I still haven't figured out why exactly this touches me so much... - Maybe because it is so authentic? Because of the great way of singing, the voice? Anyways - whenever I hear this I get goosepimples - over and over... - and I can't stop clicking this! ... like a TeleTubby - Again - Again!!
