Nik Kershaw The Riddle lyrics

 
I got two strong arms
Blessings of babylon
With time to carry on
And try
For sins and alarms
So to america the brave
Wise men save

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Of for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/n/nik_kershaw/the_riddle.html ]
It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
With just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise mens child

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

I thought this song was an anti nuclear war song, about early 80's cold war paranoia. Lines like the "hole in the ground" was the bunkers or missile silos,... "the old man of aran goes around and around", in tamil, aran is "defence" going around and around, the beacon in the night i took as being , maybe a radar
"for a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right,"
meant in the cold war both sides, for whatever reason, thought themselves to be right, and they will never fight over you, but over their political ideology. (wise men fighting over you)
the next lines could well have meant hiding in the underground bomb shelters,.. "i got plans for us, nights in the scullery... " etc.

It's not me you see , this is a valentine just a song of mine
to keep from burning history, seasons of gasoline and gold
wisemen fold:
ie, burning history, destroying all that has been created, seasons of gasoline and gold, = fighting over commodities?

Other lines point also to fears of nuclear war, including
"wisemen's child"... The atomic bomb, (oppenheimer's toy? )
no he'll never never fight over you... The riddle was, what are they fighting over, and will it really happen?

These are just my thoughts and personal opinion :)
