This is my favourite song on the album, i cant get sick of it..
it's a dreamer's song about how everything in his life goes slowly (the rythem of the song is also very slow, so this is reflected) he doesn't join in with what everyone else is doing, he just see's what, 'someone and someone' perhaps he wants someone, but he is perhaps shy? he doesnt want to go out and meet people,
is he dreaming when he says 'they're bringing me presents and saying hello'
they sing words between the lines of age, i dont know what this means, maybe they sing words of things that might happen, but as they get older, they know it wont happen, but they still think of it between the lines of age.
he hopes 'this water will boil' there is no mention of fire or heat to warm the water, he is just hoping it will boil, like he hopes something else will happen, but he is too much of a dreamer to get out and make it happen.
he thinks 'If I was a junkman selling you cars,
Washing your windows and shining your stars' would that make 'you' happy, would that make something change?
'thinking your mind was my own' he dreams about what 'you' would think if 'you' were him'
you would dream of living in castles, abit at a time' the dreams would build up a bit at a time, then you would realize that it would never happen, as as soon as you try to make it happen, ''the king started laughin'' at what you wanted, and confusing the matter by ' talking in rhyme'
you would then understand why he cant face going out and leaving his dreams.
so like the others, as he gets older and ages more, he sings words of what could happen but sadly never will.
such a hard song to understand, i wonder what neil really meant.
