| The missing middle stanza: You read the book you turn the page You change your life in a thousand ways The dawn of reason lights your eyes With the key you realise To the kingdom of the wise Ok, this song is off of one of the most tangibly conceptual APP albums - Turn of a Friendly Card. In short, it's an album about gambling - something Eric Woolfson (the main songwriter) detests. The only thing left to this gambler at this point is the relief of knowing the ultimate outcome of his gaming habit. He's lost everything, but in doing so he's realized the error of his ways and that he truly has 'everything to gain'. 1 | |
