My initial thought was that the joker is the man and the thief of the night/the girl represents rebels/rockers. Alway's looking out for the man to try to destroy opposition. I think thats what the girl is supposed to represent in the album. At least that gives it so much meaning, but then again it could be anything.. hehe

"we are not going home," - i always loved that part. i guess it works with Xim's interpretation in saying the "joker" doesn't want to live his old life anymore ...

Can't help but feel a strong influence by All Along the Watchtower. Sort of like the prequel to it...

The live version in their members-section of their website has slightly differing lyrics: "There is sweet there must be sour" ... "As she's dancing in the field of clover" Which fits the above reasoning even better. But I'm sure it's "...If he took her away" rather than "is he took her away".

hmm now come to think of it there IS a Joker and a Thief in All Along The Watchtower "there must be some kind of way out of here said the joker to the thief" wasnt it something like that?=P
