| Fairport Convention – Reynardine Lyrics

First this song is just hauntingly beautiful. Sandy Denny's voice, though perfect on almost all of their songs, just meshes with these lyrics so well to create one of the best folk songs of all time.
Anyway as for the meaning the line sly old Reynardine as well as the line "his teeth did brightly shine" which brings to my mind the image of a conniving cheshire cat smile suggests that Reynardine is not a good guy. I think he is kidnapping the girl, but the fact that it is not outrightly stated just intensifies the creepyness. |

I think its a combination of coney's and spidery's ideas. I think the girl is escaping her dependence on the speaker through prostitution. The line "She's out on the streets again" seems to suggest prostitution along with the "she's down on her knees again.
She's also using drugs hence the line "She's knocked out on her feet again." So the speaker, whether its an abusive ex or whoever, sees her spiraling downward and feels he needs to snap her out of it somehow. |

I agree with anorexorsist, the talk show hosts and holy ghosts line refers to man made things like pop culture and religion that "beautify" the nature thats already there |

I agree with BOCult's interpretation this song is amazing. Most people think Astronomy is their best song but this is my favorite. The way the synthesizer feeds into piano and then into the guitar solo is just a flat out perfect piece of music. |
