Posted August 7, 200717 yr Okay I've been dying to know if Shirley has ever talked about this song in any interviews or given any info as to what its about. Anyone know?
August 7, 200717 yr Some people said is about death, others about Shirley's childhood. But I read somewhere about this song and I can say that: when Shirley was in high school, a boy killed himself, and she wrote that song about him. Look here at post #9
August 7, 200717 yr I just took the words "baby thinks he's dying" and assumed it was about cot death or something (I also read a magazine somewhere which hinted at it ages ago) but the suicide probably makes more sense. Gorgeous song though, my favourite from all their album tracks (despite the morbid subject matter).
