an absolutely sublime, timeless song by a bit of a self deprecating genius!!!!!

[@annuvynarawn392]

this existential song tells of a path so many of us take at one time or another. no matter how old he gets, he nails the song. brilliant. so underrated by the public but not by other musician.

[@meenos3]

Terrific singer Andy. Very distinctive . Have followed you when you first came on the scene with Amen Corner. Fabulous days of our youth .

[@yuzhang1886]

most underrated musician ever

[@joe22589]

Yu Zhang Clapton, Waters, Morrison and ... hired him. How can you say that he is underrated? He played with the best ones

[@frankpark940]

@@joe22589 I think you missed his point. His comment agrees with you entirely.

[@rogerhartley1786]

Saw Andy recently and am now a massive fan...........who wouldn't be!

[@777petew]

Wow, I just listened to this, and was enthralled. I do know it from the 70s, but what a performance, still with the same message. Thanks again to Andy. I'll listen to you any day. Amen Corner onwards. Thank you so much. You're also a great humorous individual, which just completes the description. XX

[@RedClayFH]

Such a difficult song to sing. Loved it in the 70s and still love it. Great song.

[@paulrizo5469]

Hey Andy you are bleeping bloody great!!!

[@bertaga41]

Why do so many musicians do themselves down, comparing themselves to other players. What's important is does it work? Does it excite? Does it delight?Do you have your own style? Does it stand the test of time? Of course the answer to all these questions is yes and that is why Andy Fairweather low is superb we know that and we don't need to compare you to other people who have a different self skills!

[@paulkendall4068]

Harmonising pitch perfect with a sax.

The brilliant and underrated AFL.

[@easyTaff]

I have a photograph of me taken with you in Darwen and one with Tommy Emmanuel taken in Australia and yes what a player but AFL what a song writer and I love your guitar work. See you and the Low Riders at a gig again soon.

Was Wide Eyed and Legless about a disabled person?

[@edwardcharles9764]

Prick.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Pretty obvious that the song is about being drunk and regretting it afterwards, hence the parts about, I've gone and done it again... this room is full of my shame.

[@MrFrampo56]

No. A drunken person! Dolt!!

[@paulrizo5469]

Very funny!

[@lawrencetendler2342]

THIS SONG IS ABOUT OSCAR PISTORIUS.

[@Snakefinger1000]

You don't get work with Clapton if you can't play. But he sure has changed, he looks like a banker now.. Trouble is he's lost his hair so he can't grow it out

[@martinhanley9524]

Never seen a bald jackass

[@yuzhang1886]

hes drunk

[@lesleyscott3508]

No. Crap. Have you seen this guy live? I have. He is Brill. Fact. Period.

[@thomaskirk793]

disagree...song requires that laid back lazy drawling delivery

[@CB-xr1eg]

Is he drunk, well he's wide eyed and legless so I guess he is.

[@jeffkay9477]

@@CB-xr1eg A mate of mine was convinced this song was called My Diamond Necklace!😀

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@jeffkay9477 Well it does fit! the words I mean not the necklace!😁
