| Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I agree the song is generally about drinking to forget. I also think the reference to Gabriel is significant. Gabriel was the angel who told Mary she would be the mother of Christ. Being pregnant out of wedlock would have been at the least shameful in her society. Because of the message Gabriel brought her (the champagne he made?), she was shamed in one regard, yet, celestial. | |
