Come sit on my wall...

THIS song came into my head for NO apparent reason!
Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of O...
Beautiful songwriter. Ex-girlfriend & ex-bandmate a really beautiful songwriter, too
Sea Song
And they can't hang out. Pity, but it's how it goes sometimes.
I did just wonder what was up with the picture on the cover of the "O" album.

Prague! Honestly. I feel like the first impression this song gave me was literally of a man getting dressed as a woman. And something about it was transgenderish to me. Now I can see it as a guy seeing a girl getting dressed up and being in agony because she's leaving for someone else and that seems real, too. She's going on a train to Prague, to see her lover, who's not him. But that seems almost secondary to my first impression which was more to do with a man getting dressed up like drag queen. Like they're both performers, artists, models, dancers, whatever, going on stage, and getting dressed up to get approval from someone out there in the audience, and also, (maybe even more so) just in general, in life. But she thinks he doesn't do it, and he's saying, yes, he does it too.

Kind of like "Mother."
Tuck your ribbons under your helmet, be a good soldier.

It could be:
Him vs. them getting married and he's getting dressed up because he's going to their shindig (probable original meaning) But also: He's so involved with her he feels as if he's getting dressed up for the other guy, just because that's how she feels. Like an "every breath you take" kind of thing. Borderline obsession. All dressed up for him too.
Or: They are both performers getting dressed up for some guy in a suit. They are like actress-artist-hookers seeking approval. Really dressed up. Like drag queens. Seduction through looks if nothing else. Or maybe through dance or performance. And: They have to dress up to please someone else. Whether it's in a soldier's uniform or a slinky dress or any number of other costumes. So some guy gives them the big ticket to whatever. Approves of them. A paycheck. Survival. Or maybe even just for approval, or for love that they seek. They each kind of have to prostitute themselves, just in different ways. All of that. It seems multilayered. Whether that was the songwriter's intention or not.
Is that enough on "Prague?" Well, you just never know what you're going to type about sometimes, do you...

Or he's singing about different parts of himself. He has to leave the girl because she wants a part of himself that exists but that is not freeing enough for the other parts of him. She wants to marry the other part of himself. And he can put himself in her shoes and see how she wants to dress up for that one. And he dresses up, too?
Mmmmkay, time to go to sleep already...
