The Fly
(A pox on anyone who scolds me for posting this in the wrong forum...)
For ages now I've been describing "Lady w/the Spinning Head" as an ode to a groupie. Mainly because of the "figure of eight/six and nine again" line, which seems to refer to what Bono once called the "most democratic" sexual position. But it has suddenly occurred to me: the song is about the moon. Remember all the moon imagery in the second half of AB, the moon appearing as a sort of wifely glow that follows the hero on all his debauched travels.
Of course, this does nothing to explain the song's final, money-starved lines. But I don't care, I'm so pleased w/my new lunar theory I'm going to take it out for a drink.
