It seems sad that the selfishness of Brian - all bedded up - left his (more hardy/rugged, but at the same time very vulnerable) younger brother Dennis to flounder about. He led a life of ups and downs, which was ultimately later dictated by the the overuse of substances. 5 broken marriages later, and a realisation that there was no money left - it's teary that such a character had little choice but drink himself into a coma each day - with not even his closest friends being able to straighten him out?! A tragic loss, but at least this song written and sung by Dennis affirms some of the beauty that is in life... Just a thought!
Bit harsh to say Brian was 'selfish', he had schizophrenia!
