Christina Lyrics

I suppose this song could be about Christina Onasis. At any event its meaning is universal. And the part about "every one paid well does what they're told" is the most compelling part of this song or in other words, even pretenses can be bought. In the best of all possible worlds, kindness and compassion should be a mutual thing. But the truth is love is never more striking than when it is unrequited.
