It's one of my favourites as well. Also, "Still the children". I had this image of Jim at the piano and Meat singing - like when they used to play "Heaven can wait" and "Objects in the rear view mirror" - and the focus is completely on them and then you've got the band or an orchestra behind them which supports the song, but the focus is always on Meat and Jim, and they're singing this together, the final chapter in the final story.
But now in all sincerity
Try not to be too rough on me
When adding up the score
Who did what and how, what?
And with all this knowledge
How can we be so alone?
Some people never do get home
