Bob Dylan – Tombstone Blues Lyrics

The sun and the chicken are both yellow. "Yellow" means cowardly too, and "chicken" means recruit, young soldier as well. So this phrase could mean that "even the sun was not afraid to join the army."

Genesis – Blood On The Rooftops Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
I think the line "Blood on the rooftops" may refer to another song written for this album, but not included in it - "Pigeons". It refers to the accumulation of pigeons which special services have to exterminate. There are lines there: "So we called these people, these terrible people
We set them to work on the rooftops." That song refers to the problem with pigeons in Trafalgar square in London, while this song mentions Venice, where as known the same problem exist: "Blood on the rooftops--Venice in the Spring" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_the_Pigeon |

@[cadencecascade:31124] Thank you for the answer!
I thought it was about a thief who is selling the stolen things, hanging on the lining of his coat. And she stops to try on a ring. She does not need to take off her gloves for this, they are without fingers.

Mark Knopfler – Hill Farmer's Blues Lyrics

As for the dog. The song is called the Blues. In the old Blues tradition the expression "a back door affair" means adultery. The dog at the back door should guard his wife from infidelity. |

Mark Knopfler – Prairie Wedding Lyrics

It looks like the story was inspired by the film "Ones upon a time in the west". By the way, Mark Knopfler has the song with the same title from the "Comunique" album. |

And what do the lines
"She sees the man upon his back there
Escaping from a sack there
And Belladonna lingers
Her gloves they got no fingers"
mean? |
