People (fans) on Facebook are trying to make it into the charts by buying the single at the same time (during the same week). I'll keep you posted but it seems that the time is NEXT WEEK...
Anyway I couldn't wait so I got it today from iTunes, and I'll get it again next week to add up to the figure!  Wink

I like it a lot though I kind of agree... I think there are other songs in the album much more "powerful" to release as a first single!

Downloaded the song this morning from I-Tunes and listened to it several times. I have to be honest: a good song (maybe too "pop", in my opinion, too... "charts-oriented)) but definitely not a great song. I prefer "You will always walk alone" and the other songs on myspace and facebook.

Roll to me is "poppy" too and it was a hit. Smiley

Someone wrote on facebook about A man with nothing to do that it is "such a beautiful little song".......... I agree.

You'll always walk alone is my favorite.

No, actually.  Though I hate to say it.

He's written better. His taste in first singles is nothing short of shameful.

I got it through Play cos weirdly Amazon UK doesn't seem to have it.

I'm trying to suss the lyrics after the line 'the devil is rolling up his sleeve' (which I want to say sleeves!!...) but anyway...
then it goes 'is God so busy in his time
that I'm doing nothing too'
- that doesn't make sense to me though.  Is that what he sings?
