But classically it was associated with northern Egypt, a la nesu-bity. Which I do believe (I really do) conclusively proves Crystal's Osiris theme is bollocks. Thank you all and see you next year.
Thank you but no: I prefer to believe the song is about Morrissey's tortured, unrequited love for Gilbert O'Sullivan.
He was kind of cute, actually...
I can't understand why anyone would feel the need to disprove CG's theories.
Maybe next year we'll know.
That "very very homosexual Irish singer" is married and has two children.
Sorry to piss on your chopsticks, but doesn't the papyrus grow in northern Egypt, i.e. the Nile Delta?
That "very very homosexual Irish singer" is married and has two children. But he does sing, "I was cheerful, bright and gay" in Alone Again, Naturally so close enough.
Actually, could Southpaw be about Gilbert O'Sullivan? That bit, "you turned around/you were alone, again..." could be the clue.
Maybe
But don't forget, "gay" means "joyful" too.
Can anyone exactly tell me what southpaw song is about.
Mars_Rover's mother tongue is English.
the song "Southpaw"? I mean the real meaning beyond the words...for example: who's the girl of your dreams? Is HERE all alone? Who is he talking to? Is he referring to himself as a girl? Who ran back to Ma?
My own instinctive reading was always that he simply missed out on meeting the girl of his dreams due to his sustained pattern of cowardice in life. Ie, hide from yourself and the good things in life evade you, the easiest path being in the long run the most disastrous, if consistently chosen.
It grows all over the place, including my back garden.
This is assuming the song is directly autobiographical, which alot of his songs aren't, but this one seems like one.
Pics plz. kthx.
