It has its own Wikipedia page that explores its meaning. But hey, it's a fun song and I like it. -Joe- |

If I didn't unserstand them, it was my fault for not being clever enough...??? Because that's how we were being taught to do the same with poetry at school... Years later I realised the lyrics were mostly complete hippy dippy stoned pretentious bollocks... |
