right on, that lyric and the hook jumped up off the LP (once i made it thru the first 50 seconds, lol) long before it hit the airwaves and over-saturated my ears... but ya, simple + clever = enduring

i certainly prefer the hook played on piano

Jim Steinman talks about 'You Took the Words...' - YouTube

can we get Gord to sit with piano and/or guitar and divulge in similar fashion? naw

ya ask him about songwriting and he gives ya the price of tea in the Yukon
