I’m very surprised there is no indication of who wrote these lyrics, obviously Kerr, and no copyright attribution. I INSIST on those two things to reprint my lyrics. The song was written in 1991.
I like HonestMan’s comments about the descending numbers and shrinking verses, I’d not spotted that. I think those numbers matter.
The lyrics have a Springsteen quality about them ala ATLANTIC CITY don’t they? I don’t think this is three stories. I think this is one story in three acts with a narrative rather like a David Lynch film such as WILD AT HEART. Note that WILD AT HEART was released in 1990 so there may have been some inspiration there.
