Me too 1967. Been bemused by these interpretations for some time and finally I find you have the same as I have always had. I guess its an era thing.. The candle, the shoe etc are the paraphernalia for cooking up the fix - the dust. Torturing the dress your wear for the world to look through - decides to smash the syringe. Went to the doctor to cure the addiction but just got the doc hooked. Even a Saint succumbs. Eskimo, froze, blizzard of ice - a description of the stuff. Oh please let me come into the storm...

Been a rabid Lenny Cohen fan boy since 1967. For me, it\'s a love song for Mistress Heroin. There\'s no woman involved.

Nothing to do with women.
