Younger listeners may not know Borstal was a juvenile detention center and that the hi fis he was stealing are the stereos your dad may play his records on. Perhaps he became a thief since he was "forced to" to get money for the baby to come. The song is filled with subtle and beautiful lines describing sex between two inexperienced people... "With her hair up in his fingers The fish and chips smell lingers" could be taken metaphorically as well as literarily. Also, "The moon as white and virgin And she was on the turning" which is so specific about being able to be impregnated but still so poetic. I especially like the line "And all her mates would giggle As ladylike she'd wiggle All along the high street. Really is a beautiful depiction of young love and the consequences and chance for redemption for your mistakes. Chris DIfford is amazing. |
