| Billy Bragg – St. Swithin's Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Some of the lines do have a political feel to them, especially given who wrote them, but for me I think it must be a bit more straightforward. It must be just a love song... Is there any political way to take: With my own hands When I make love to your memory It's not the same ? The "cast a shadow over the land..." well I think he's just using the weather as a metaphor for the transience of (some) love... It all passes, like the weather. Lovely song. Dubstar did a beautiful version of it too. |
