What a great thread. For years I have listened to the song, read it to people a a poem, and spent a lot of time thinking about it. Now I have a clearer idea of what it's all about, not too far from what I had worked out. The one line above all others I wish I had penned, for me, has to be "On a quite street, where old ghosts meet." I have never heard the song performed by anyone, good, bad, drunk, or whatever, when I didn't enjoy and look forward to the next line. Keep up the brilliant threads and info. mcpiper
