@[itsnotstanley:37661] The lyrics could well imply manipulation rather than concern/pity - the "if I wanted to" lyric sounds as if the man is callous rather than concerned. A large part of me wants the song not to be sinister though - the guitar is divine :-) |

It's a man who is fond of and feels sorry for a woman, but doesn't love her. She is less well equipped emotionally than him, or suffers depression and his wanting to turn her on is maybe sexual but more likely his efforts to bring her out of her funk via a variety of experiences. Feeling responsible for her and convinced that no one else will care for her, he can't bring himself to cut her off, so there is an egotism in his concern. |

| I think it might be about nuclear war. The thunder, lightning, "where the sun had shone" together with people running and the rain (black rain can fall after a nuclear blast) seem to me to imply it. | |
