From my own interpretations and from the interviews which i've read, the songs main themes are NASA's space exploration program and the weight Tom Meighan put on when he was touring in the united states. ''It's taken all these days to find ya'' refers explicitly to the protein diet that Meighan found to get himself back to his normal size. Other lyrics more subtly and abstractly allude to space exploration and weight problems. ''Take me to the edge again'' is a clever lyric which finally combines the two themes and clearly conjures up imagery of the band being sucked into a black hold after eating every item on the 99cents Taco Bell menu |

I think 'Jeltete' (as i replied earlier) is coming closer to the point here. The lyric (body ruling mind & vice versa) is more purposeful than just some vague and arbitrary philosophical questioning. The 'body politic' is the concept Morrissey is alluding too. Is the collective shaped by our 'representatives' or are our 'representatives' shaped by the collective and thus inheriting characteristics of the collective?.. followed by a swift an honest admission of ignorance to this historically circular argument. To be honest, i personally see very little in this song about personal relationships, though i could be wrong. Almost certainly the driving force behind this song is thatcher and the conservative government, rabid modernization, employment (a major topic of the time) and a kind of 'saudade' which gives the listener a very intense impression of the higher feeling he is trying to express, regardless of their familiarity with the politics of the era. |
