This track basically pertains to the love that dare not speak its name, love for old age pensioners. Namely “Granny sex” (for short). All the indications and hallmarks are clearly there, the song protagonist in this track loves 'old fashioned waltzes, arranging paper flowers and lace'. Who does that sound like, even back in 1989? That's right, your great aunt Ermintrude! The female character in this track is not a day under 80. The singer, Derek Dick, (aka Fish former marillion vocalist) is finally ending his affair with a lonely old spinster, because she has undeniably lost her mind and become senile. He is tried of watching her dance around the room like a deranged old bat, staring at herself in the mirror and jabbering on about Tolkien novels in her dementia. The dancing is also a metaphor for the relationship istelf. The soft overly sentimental nature of this ballad is a tip-of-the-hat towards Bing Crosby musical classics, such as Singing In The Rain. Fish had clearly lost the plot at this point in his career and Marillions new singer were making him look like a fool who secretly harboured old-age pensioner fetishes. This entire album is testament to Fish running out of creative ideas and trying, even more than usual, to pump out mainsteam Genesis cash spinners. |
