That is really interesting, I had no idea. Along the same lines of TIALTNGO being 'inspired' by New York Doll's Lonely Planet Boy...
"Oh, you pick me up
You're out and drivin' in your car
When I tell you where I'm goin'
Always tellin' me it's to far
But how could you be drivin'
Down by my home
When ya know, I ain't got one
And I'm, I'm so all alone"
...and of course, Joni Mitchell's The Silky Veils Of Ardor, which, err, inspired Seasick Yet Still Docked...
"I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through all these highs and lows...
...
I wish I had the wings
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
So I could fly this raging river
To reach the one I love
But I have no wings"
