Welcome, Matt! I'm a little analytical myself. At least that's what people call me on a *good* day. :)
If understanding what Joni might have meant is your game, you need to check out this page: www.jmdl.com/glossary/index.cfm www.jmdl.com/lyrics/index.cfm Our host, Les Irvin toiled for decades to produce this hot-linked page of lyrics. While the "Proud headed Queen Lizzie" has already been decoded for you here on the List, you're sure to learn something in return for your time. And isn't that what drives analytical types? :) BTW, we all know that Les cracked the code "Javex bottles on the tide". But have you seen the picture of a Javex bottle? http://www.jmdl.com/glossary/javex.cfm Way to go, Les! You rock! All the best, Lama ps, Welcome home, Matt Matt said, >>I'm very analytical of Joni's songs and just can't figure this one out. What are all these things references to? Like, "Proud headed Queen Lizzie" and the "masking tape." Any kind of stanza by stanza explanation would be really welcome. >>>
