Augie March – One Crowded Hour Lyrics 12 years ago
Finding the one true meaning for a song as layered in meaning as this one is just silly.
It's about his relationship with music and songwriting. And he uses metaphors and lyrical imagery from love stories and myths.
Y'know, it's what marks him out as a good lyricist.

Midnight Oil – In The Valley Lyrics 12 years ago
Garrett is certainly singing from his own perspective, and he's said this is one of his favourite Oils songs, and a tribute to his parents and grandparents, especially his mother.
His grandfather did die in the sinking of the Montevideo Maru (as did the uncle of Kim Beazley, who was also in the parliamentary Labor party with Garrett). The Montevideo Maru was lost in WW2 with hundreds of Allied prisoners of war aboard.
