Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?

Please enlighten me, Miller, which EJ album is the song on? I don't remember it, like so many things these days.

Don't Shoot Me I'm the Piano Player

I am going to have to seek that out, have the album but don't remember the song. I too am a big Taupin fan, what a pair they proved to be and can't wait to see the twist Hollywood puts on the up coming movie.

Evidently its not just me. Asked a guy at work, did you know High Flying Bird, the girl is a suicide? Nope. He like me thought she just left him.

I thought Steely Dan's Black Cow was just a fun song about a party girl until one day listening a little closer to the lyrics I realized its about a guy who fell in love with a girl, discovers she's an addict (and worse) and, finally having enough, tells her to just get lost!

I don't care anymore
Why you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

Again, really obvious in hindsight. But how many saw it this way the first time they heard it?

On Steely Dan, neither of those guys would break up with a girl over an addiction :-)
