    67 years old, the song. 36 comments since this song was posted Jan 30, 2016. This is September 29, 2019 and not one of you thought to address the angst of either song. Especially Wells' explanation of men and how we treat women. It is, ladies and gentlemen, what these two songs are about. You can ignore it or not at your peril. Not one of the comments to date saw the song itself.

      Yes, unfortunately humanity is not perfection. We are all sinners to one degree or another. Life is that combination of beauty and ugliness, pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness.
