hmm - i usually hate these 'alian abduction' theories, seems like every is so determined to turn any slightly ambiguous song into an abduction! drives me wild. but i think that it might actually work with this song, especially if that is what frou frou says it is about! surely if anyone knows, they do? But its evidently a positive event to the singer. maybe its not so much about alien abduction per say, but about the notion of there being 'something other' than what is, something that can believed in, a better way of life, contrary to popular opinion - everyone calls her crazy. and its certainly been made to sound like its about a secret sexual affair, frou frou must have been aware that they were putting a sexual spin on it. so i propose that it is using an alien narrative to talk about general faith and escape, the courage to believe in the reality of 'crazy' dreams - and more specifically in the context of a secret sexual affair. Is that too subtle and complicated and clever to be true?
