I grew up on a steady self fed diet of Simon LeBon's lyrics and often astounded my English teachers with my understanding of Shakespeare... so here you are ... Here is the Gist of New Moon on Monday as I see it. If you were to light a torch on the night of a New Moon, you would see what is obviously a bright light.. in the darkness of no moon.. All the rest should fall right into place now....He is once again faced with his old flame..(old lover) for whom he still carries a torch that is so bright, it embarrasses him. Now if you go back and read the lyrics is should all be pretty much as he says.."I couldn't really put it much plainer" lines like (maybe I can catch a ride) hints of embarrassment that each time he meets her (this time la luna) he embarrasses himself unable to stop himself from trying ...even when warned against it. It's rather like saying I wear my heart on my sleeve.
