It's an old saying . " Live by the sword, die by the sword"
It basically means that if you don't behave well towards other folks...you can't expect them to behave well towards you.
Stab them...and they'll stab you back !

Same. I walked round Richmond Park today with that end bit bouncing around in my head. Excellent walking music. One of their best fade-outs too ...Quote

This is by far my favorite song from the album, by the end when that groove gets locked in, wow--I'm singing it for hours afterwards. And bouncing.

Not my favorite, only Bite my head off is more worse.
I really enjoy the other songs, though, so 2 out of 12 to dislike, makes it a good album.
As I said : 3 stars, which could have been 3 1/2 , if there were less guests on the record.

Funnily, this track reminds me of early Jagger/Richards originals from the 60's, the rocking tunes they crafted from the base of the band grooving a three-chords rhythm and blues number but adding there a bit of poppish, melodic flavor. You know, the stuff they did, say, 1963-67. Especially the part "I'm gonna treat you right, etc." is based on such a 60's style Jagger/Richard melodic line and hook. Surely there is some maturity gathered in experience (and references to different eras), but still it has that 60's innocence, joy and freshness there. And, of course, the original rhythm section plus Elton channeling Stu so well here.
It is incredible how unique piece and statement each track in this album is. There is no repetition, no fillers. Such a treasure to listen.
