Good afternoon,

From Carly Simon, of "You're so vain" fame, "Take Me As I Am" on "Come Upstairs" from around 1980

The grass is always greener but I wish you could have seen her, drunk and lying with the gutter in her face.

It really destroys the magic of a potential romance based on fantasy and newness yet it is so realistic and hides it all behind a happy, fun song.

Actually I have always fancied "her" much more than I wondered who was "so vain" (apparently Warren Beatty).

Bye

Ian
