| I think the "present" is the song itself - obviously sarcastic because it isn't a nice song but it's exactly what he deserved. And just in time for Christmas! | |

And "dressed to the nines" (dressed formally) could just refer to lavish Kennedy parties. I find this song really sweet, especially since Ethel never remarried. |

I agree with thrwmyhrtawy that this song was written for Ethel Kennedy, who really was 17 in 1945. Robert Kennedy was called "Bobby". I mean, Robert Kennedy was 20, not 17 at that time, and they actually met at a ski resort, but considering Ethel adores Taylor (not sure if she still does since Taylor & Conor broke up) and all the other hints in the song that match, I think it's pretty clear. And I mean, having 11 kids is close enough to 10 haha. |

I'm a bit confused....to me, this seems like a very nostalgic song about two lovers separated and waiting to meet again at the St. Peter's Day Festival as they go through the ups and downs in life (The cusps and fjords we wade through/It all falls apart; Arms wide/But look, there comes a tide). It all fits perfectly, but suddenly there's a reference to a mass murderer (Sawney Bean - thought it was a cute pet name until I looked it up), and the last line mentions a farce. What's the farce? Their relationship? |

When I first heard this song, I just thought it was just some feel-good song about a romantic rendezvous. However, after seeing the lyrics and talking to a friend who's in the same situation, I think I know what this song is really about. It IS about a rendezvous, perhaps a hook-up. There's excitement in all of this, and overall, the singer is caught up in it, making it a rather happy song (Smiling at the rain 'cause you hold me close/Kiss me in the rain by the Rue Voltaire/Oooh, we crash into love-filled nights). However, she acknowledges the limited time they have with each other (Still, seven hours/Oooh, we race 'till we're out of time). She doesn't want it all to end, though, so she encourages her lover to try commitment because she feels like they're worth it (We should try/For each other and for the lovers). She sings, "Don't let me down." |
