| Prefab Sprout – Bonny Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
this view is completely wrong. firstly bonny is a girls name. 'when you were there before my eyes'' etc... basically, author was in a relationship with a girl called bonny. he never gave her the time she deserved, lived for his vanity 'i spend the days with my vanity' and basially built a weak defense away from her with his 'tower of foil' it is clear that he broke up with her and now regrets everything 'all my silence and my strained respect' and wants her back 'i count the hours that you slipped away' 'but bonny don't live at home' suggests he can no lnoger find her and that she has become an obsession for him and then he finds out she is dead 'save your speeches and flowers for the funerals' this intepretation is im pretty sure 95% right or so, and is the view shared by most prefab fans of the meaning. |
