That doesn't seem to be what happened. The video also has the 'broken glass' images which to me implied the trust she had broken by playing games with him. Basically she set him up for 'moral failure' and of course neither remains unscathed.<BR/><BR/>That is assuming of course that any pop song can really be analyzed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1129688913819565542005-10-19T03:28:00.000+01:002005-10-19T03:28:00.000+01:00MaidMotherCroneI think you got them all covered in...Maid<BR/>Mother<BR/>Crone<BR/>I think you got them all covered in this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1128391579554084302005-10-04T03:06:00.000+01:002005-10-04T03:06:00.000+01:00Mmmmm..the rubberband girl.

The English spelling isn't much of an issue, though, as there are often multiple ways of spelling different Cyrillic characters.<BR/><BR/>And wasn't she scary looking?Disintegrating Clonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751287039603688094noreply@blogger.com
