Cover art for Moonlight Shadow lyrics by Mike Oldfield

"I hereby ask everybody who's making theories about the 105 being people to listen to that specific part closely - use headphones if you want... it say "caught in the middle of -A- hundred-and-five". The "a" is the important part, since it immediately rules out 105 people, the 105th street or whatever. Instead, this is a prime example of a police code. (never watched Kojak?) "We have a 105 here." =) So it IS about a robbery."

Er, while I'm happy to accept that it may well be a police code, I just wanted to point out that it DOESN'T rule out the "105 people" A hundred and five PEOPLE still makes perfect sense to me! :) And yes, that's what I always interpreted it as... a woman struggling to get through a crowd to reach her dying lover... who probably shouldn't have been caught up in the "desperate fight" anyway. So sad, but the Celtic undertone does make it so beautiful and so addictive!
