I found this thread while searching for the lyrics. I was a bit unsure about the first word whether it was intended to be "true" or "through." Either works well for me. I do want to say that I am a bit dismayed at the apparant need for some people to have songs make plain, perfect sense. Where is the appreciation for the abstract? This is one of many songs I love that I feel has to be interpreted by the individual because it is so abstract. You feel stupid singing it? Then don't sing it. I sing it at my favorite pub (using the word "true" that I wasn't sure about) and sure enough, the first time someone asked me what it meant. So my reply was "what did it mean to you?" The response? He said "nothing, but I sure liked it!" So, either use the song in your line-up, or don't. I think it adds something special to my show, as now the response has been that the pub quiets down, except for the sound of those singing along and the shuffle of feet on the dancefloore.
