| Manic Street Preachers – Bag Lady Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Firstly the title refers to someone who is homeless. (Bag Lady) 'Eternity is not sunrise' may I believe relate to this short William Blake poem 'Eternity' - (He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.) Since this is rejected it is not lived in, without a home. What can we associate with a home? healing/sanctuary/safety/boundaries/authority These are all dealt with in the song and shown to be unstable (health-'flowers die'/self-'ruined me'/laws-'paper burns') As for Richey, I hope he's leading some kind of monastical/nomadic life somewhere :-) |
