Toy Dolls – Livin La Vida Loca Lyrics 14 years ago
I think it's about heroin.

One who has never been addicted to either heroin or even prescription painkillers might not understand it, though.

Heroin = the color mocha.

Judy Collins – Send In the Clowns Lyrics 14 years ago
Interesting post, principal.

But there's soooooooooo many ways this song can be interpreted, IMHO. It's just a great universally sad song.

Two of my favorite ways to interpret it are thusly:

1.) a naive, idealistic 60s child who is upset with herself for having been so naive about her beloved country of America prior to Vietnam. I find this interpretative view to be particularly poignant because of Collins' idealistic 60s crowd.

2.) a naive person who has looked for the Christian God all her life at this point, and only just now realized He's not the ostentatious God some so-called "believers" make Him out to be.
