Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the assessment scale.

This is a poorly written stub, with no sources cited - just an external link to the song's lyrics. A prod to cite sources for claims like, "It's considered by many to be a great example of lyrical story-telling" was removed without any comment. These are weasel words. Cite a source: who considers this to be a great example? As written, this article just says: Here's a song by so-and-so. Some people think it's about this, but others think it's about that. Many think it's great! That's non-encyclopedic. Author(s) of this article should check out what other song articles look like and consider editing for POV, citing sources, adding chart information, etc. Wikipedia is not a place for you to review songs or speculate on what you think a song might be about. 66.17.118.207 13:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
