| I love this song, beyond the nostalgia that it congers up from my childhood. But, to throw a fly into the ointment ... I saw this song played on TOTP2 and the information they gave about the song was that it's the story of a biographer who couldn't bring himself to write the truth about his subject - someone who had skeletons in the closet (hence references to thrills & pills and the lyric "why do I find it hard to write the next line"). They even mentioned names - the name of the person who the biographer was writing about - but I'll be damned if I could remember who they said it was. For me, though, this angle would belie the dreamy nature of the music. | |

| I think this song could be about wanting to discover truth within oneself or with wanting to confess love for another person. Like Steve, I believe that the biographer interpretation is too staid and doesn't fit with the dreamy quality of the music. As beautiful ones pointed out, the lyric about the pill and the slow rhythm does make it seem as if the singer is on drugs, or at least relaxed from downing half a bottle of wine. Actually, the song seems very sexual. The singer's mind id obviously clouded with passion, for he finds it "hard to write the next line". There's an allusion to Marvin Gaye (does anyone else hear strains of "Sexual Healing"?) The "head over heels, toe to toe" could be recalling the act of dancing together or the thrill of the first intimate encounter with someone. Not to mention that the sighing in the chorus sounds semi-orgasmic. All these elements combine that sexual tension with the enamored satisfaction people feel when they're in love. What a beautiful effort. | |
