Like alot of her songs, this about an unsucessful relationship.
"I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
You'll be the monk whose forehead is high" . . .
Does anyone know what this means? It has confused me for awhile.
@IckleRu The imagery is from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo. The girl who sings for her supper is Esmerelda, the gypsy girl that Quasimodo loves (and can never have, even though he saves her life) and the monk with the high forehead is the evil priest.
