    Hadn't listened to this for years …. it is good but what are some of the songs about ?? … here's what I think ….

    Yellow triangle …. this is obvious …. about Nazism ….

    God woman …. St Brigid maybe ?? … but who is breaking up the bordellos ?? …

    Minds locked shut = Bloody Sunday …

    Folk tale … prob fictional story of younger man in love with older woman he falls out of love with ….

    Riding the high stool …. another obvious one … a song about pubs !!

    Tiles and slabs … obscure …. but the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan first time around the time of this album and so could be about fundamentalism in Afghanistan ??

    Strange ways … almost certainly must be about clerical abuse in disguise ?? ..

    On the mainland …. Seamus Heaney's winning of an award and he being considered British by the BBC …

    Boning halls …. must be about the Beef Tribunal ….

    Miracle of nature …. about bad planning law ??

    North and south of the river …. song about Dublin …

    Rory is gone … tribute to Rory Gallagher ….
