Subject: RE: Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? (MacColl)
only the author can decide what is right or wrong surely?for example I wrote this song, I know what Imeant
Flying high but never landing
Flighted shaft of love entrancing
Through the clouds so lightly dancing
Chorus do si do and then farewell
repeat twice
2
I watched you circling higher
calling follow me for ever
Touching souls we soared together
Chorus
3 Flying for the sun were seeking
cross the waves so swiftly fleeting
never grounding loves fond feelings
Chorus
4 From the cliff face now the leaving
chasing sunbeams all the evening
joined in love our fusion weaving
Chorus
Flying high you stared soaring
to the ground i kept on falling
helpless till she heard the calling
chorus
High unto the cliff face leaving
Quivering heart so sadly weeping
gentle hands that kindly freed me
chorus

THE second line is not a double entendre, it is meant to mean like cupids arrow it is not meant to mean anything sexually, unfortunately facebook artificial intelligence thought other wise, and did not approve of the word shaft, a slang word that i had forgotten had a sexual meaning.
