This song means so much to me. It perfectly describes a friendship situation that I have.
The first part, I think, is a dialogue between two friends. The narrarator is telling the second person all about what they've been doing recently, that they've been thinking of them, having dreams about them. He goes on to rant a little bit. The second person finally realizes the narrarator is there and probably wasn't listening to what he said: "I'm glad that you are waiting with me, tell me all about your day", when he clearly just said everything. Then, he goes on to talk about how breaking off is misery, how the second person has been neglecting them and staying out with their new friends. It's so sad and depressing when you realize that you love and depend on someone who doesn't return the feelings, even if it's just a friend. You think, am I crazy (a cuckoo) for caring so much? What is wrong with me? It's so hard to let go, even when you know that the person is making you emotionally sick and hate yourself. "I'd like to see you, but really I should stay away and let you settle down. I’ve got no claims to your crown. I was the boss of you and I loved you, you know I loved you. It's all over now," shows how he realizes that he has to move on and be independent, but it's just so lonely to be on his own.. as he takes everything to be a sign and listent to philosophy for advice.. but it's not enough. His friendship needs just aren't being met at all. It still hurts. He just feels so stupid for caring for so long, so worthless and.. replacable.
Hm, I got a little into that, but that's basically what is going on with me and how the song could be interpreted. Even though Thin Lizzy's song is rather upbeat, B&S has a way of making it sound a little more lonely. This song is just so perfect.
I think I have the same situation. God, I love this song even more now! I'll stick with this interpretation. I know that lonely feeling so well, feeling like the person who's supposed to understand you the most doesn't understand you that much at all, nor does s/he care....
