Introduction:
Fish said: "When you watch
kids doing jigsaws, they'll always take the eye of the koala bear or
whatever and sit on it, just for the dominating factor of putting the last
bit in. You get to the point where you lie about the last piece, you deny
that you've got it. The other person is aware that you're lying and they
hold back four or five pieces so that you can't put in the last piece.
Eventually you tear up the jigsaw and say ' We'll do it another day'. That
can grow into relationships - where no matter how important that piece is to
the other person or the relationship. In general, the song is about the
relationship that splits up and forever comes together again. It gets worse
because each time it comes back together, more pieces of the jigsaw have got
lost, and you can't get them back."
'Bridge of Sighs'
Brewer’s: "Over
the bridge, which connects the Doge's palace with the state prisons of
Venice, prisoners were conveyed from the judgement hall to the place of
execution. The passageway which used to connect the Tombs prison in New York
with the criminal court was so dubbed for similar reasons. The bridge over
the Cam at St John's College, Cambridge, which resembles the Venetian
original is know by the same name. Waterloo Bridge, London was also called
the Bridge of Sighs when suicides were frequent there."
'Trevi Moon...Cover your eyes'
Throwing a coin over the left shoulder into Rome's Trevi fountain is
supposed to ensure that you return one day. Coins were placed over the eyes
of the dead. This is related to the idea of paying Charon the boatman to
punt you across the river Styx to Elysium.
