Thanks Ian. I think if the song were someone else's and I heard it, I'd be tempted to want to yell, "Don't you SEE? You KNOW how to make it better!"

Recently had a conversation with a friend about this. I know some people have to know everything to enjoy a song, and eliminate all their questions. I love the songs written for people who like to fill in the blanks. They have enough room to allow people to find their own meanings.

The imagination-room isn't just a factor in modern type of folkish songs either. I don't know anyone who can say for sure what the guy did to piss Barbara Ellen off in the first place. There's lots of speculation, but no certainty.
