I've never been too fond of "high steppin' strutters who land in the gutters" either. That lyric has virtually no connection whatever to the rest of the song. I might change it to "in the penthouse or gutters you are sure to find others who could use one too." Something like that.
Hey 2much,
I disagree...the line "high steppin' strutters who land in the gutters..." is very significant to the song. The song speaks of everyone needing a rainy day person in their life even these folks who are too proud or think they are too good to admit it. If you replace it with your line...you've removed the imagery that Gord is known for. His songs paint vivid pictures with words that describe the realities of life and love...how can you even suggest that we tamper with perfection?
