bazooka Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 [smallest] from Wikipedia [/smallest]: "When asked what the song was about, Knopfler said that he was watching TV one day, and there was a lady writer on the TV, and that's basically where the idea for the song came from. Because the song says the writer is "talking about the Virgin Mary", some have theorized that the writer in question is Marina Warner, a view shared by Warner herself." . . .
