But Raglan Road is a story song, if ever there was a story song.

There's him seeing her in the Autumn, and then in November they're on the edge of it; and then in May it's all happening with the poems and all. And the break up is missed out, so it jumps ahead to the epilogue, with her avoiding him. And then if yoiu like you can go back to the beginning and see it differently.It's like a little film you can see in your head.

It's like a film you can see in your head. And if a few of the lines get moved around, that doesn't matter all that much, so long as the story is there.
