Please look under 'The Meeting Place' for my take on this song and the whole album.
Basically I think the whole album is about a relationship break-up where he was more serious than her (that is pretty obvious and has been noted by many other people). But in a way this song, even though its first on the album, is a 'hindsight' song. He could see it wouldn't work in the first place ('Move away from the parade') but did it anyway and ended up broken ('kiss me properly and pull me apart') and 'The Meeting Place' kind of tells the end part of the story....and we end up back here and has he learned his lessons for next time?!
