The lyrics are sublime storytelling and clever expression. Pure theatre.
The Pink Floyd were offered this as an album to be a part of but they chose the 'Wall'. Imagine Gilmour on here? But that's not to say Clapton is any slouch. He's very good and its definitely his style you hear. The saxophone on 'Running Shoes' is amazing and Roger's delivery of describing the girl in question is brilliant. Pure Roger. I love it!!
