The song:
"In Stockholm many, many years ago, I met someone there on a dark rainy night, and they told me this story." Accordingly, the refrain's "cities of the far north" seem to be Scandinavian.

During the Q&A session on the noticeboard Justin was asked if the song was a nod to Ken Loach's movie of the same title. The answer was: "yes, possibly but I can't remember. I do remember seeing the movie when I was young and it having quite an effect on me." The movie came out in 1971 and tells the story of a young woman who rebels against her restrictive, conservative working-class parents and has a nervous breakdown when they force her to have an abortion.

Die Seite ist eh ziemlich cool.
Scheint also eher um was persönliches bzw ein Einzelschicksal zu gehen und nicht generell um irgendeinen politischen oder gesellschaftlichen Kontext.
