This is a mysterious song - many levels of interpretation are possible. It is one of my all-time favorite songs. Siouxsie and the Banshees transcend mere rock'n'roll - they are something else altogether. I posted about this song at my blog in case you are interested:
All of the insightful commentary I have read here has only made me value the song even more. Really fascinating. I wonder if Siouxsie was consciously thinking of the Palestinian colors or simply the holiday colors of red & green. I would love to know what her own explanation of the lyrics is. God bless.

@NomadMonad great point, like any good art, it provokes thought, and open to interpretation from person to person.
