Released as the B-side to the 1975 single "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," this track was recorded in the summer of 1974, when the "Captain Fantastic" album was actually recorded. This song, however, appears to be a left-over from the "Caribou" sessions, having no thematic connection to the autobiographical "Captain Fantastic." The song was actually covered and released as a single by an obscure English singer named Linda Kendrick, also in 1975, around the same time as Elton's own release. According to Bernie Taupin, Kendrick's release of the song prompted the Elton John team to go ahead and release their version as a B-side the same year.
