Anxiety	Trust me, if you file it under "Ignorance = Bliss", you will be much better off. They even made a comic book trying to explain the shit, and I still didn't get what he was on about.

Spookymuffin	IMHO It's all about the love of someone you can't reach for what ever reason.. well, I haven't seen the video, and if that explains anything it's pure fluke.

In an interview conducted around the time of release of The Crystal Ball set the folling question was asked and answer given

Q: What is the symbolism behind "3 Chains of Gold"?

A: In Time all is revealed.

In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream

OdysseyMiles	Or it could be that he hates having to explain stuff. Many artists would rather you just keep listening or draw your own conclusion. Honestly, I've wondered what in blue blazes he was talking about in that tune, but "you can't always get what you want..."

I thought it was all pretty self-explanatory.

Princess Mayte of Egpyt, heir to the throne, her father, the king is murdered by his entrustees, and she witnesses this - they killed him to gain ownership of the 3 Chains, whomever holds them rules the country, Mayte has them.

She sends Prince some kiddie-porn video of her from some TV show, and asks him for help.

Prince likes butterscotch jailbait, so he agrees to help protect her and the chains from the men who killed her father.

Yadda, yadda, they all live happily ever after, Mayte with a skanky drummer with a big dick, and Prince marries one of his fans and joins a loony cult.

The end.
