Someone once told me (I forget who and when) that this is a song about a soldier dying on his back in WWI. His is dying on razor wire (barb wire), looking into the sky and talking of a beautiful women he knew.
There are three parties involved in the song: I, You and Her. The speaker (I) is telling a third party (You) about her - her qualities; prostitute of beuaty, but not intellectual matters. (which presumably the speaker wanted to talk to the prostitue about for some reason (true love, need to talk?))
The speaker and the third party seem to have some past connection as well. But the speaker seems to be telling the third person to go see her.
