These tell who is involved. In _The Delivery Man_ most of the songs concern and tell the story of four characters: Abel, Ivy, Vivian, and Geraldine.

Vivian is the one who "talks like the beauty she never was/ And the wild nights that she never had". But it could be about the other females, and their plight into lust, wanton-ness, seduction, and rage ("she's taping up her hands/Just like a boxer will", "She's knocking down some doors", "Full of shattered glass and mayhem"). We'll just have to check that album insert. If anyone out there has said resource... |
