Over the years my idea of what the song about has changed. At first, I usta think it was about children because of the chorus. Then I thought it was about a couple having constantly arguing and fighting. Now I think its like an anti-war song or something.

personally, i think it's just a pretty little ditty with no deep meaning at all. but read into it what you will.

i remember a discussion a while back where somebody suggested that it was a message to the fans? apologies for not giving credit - i simply don't recall who it was that made that interesting suggestion.

I started a thread about it being to the fans (though there's probably been more than one).

That's the reason I felt he sang "boy or a girl." The whole album is so slick I thought the D & P were the songs themselves.

After so many challenging (and great) albums, I thought P was saying "Is this what you want?" Actually, it wasn't what I wanted! I did learn to like it, though.

It's quite self-explanatory - The "diamond" is the sphincter, and the "pearls" are anal beads:

Unconditional love, going with the flow and no matter what you do you cant seem to say I love you in a strong enough way
