I don't understand why this song is considered abstract or impenetrable.

Lines like "I was Stone and he was Wax / So he could scream, / and still relax, unbelievable", or "and the solid book we wrote / Cannot be found today" would seem to describe a long-term gay relationship.

could you elucidate on the last plz? i am not seeing it.

I am aware of the power of the Rorschach inkblot test; I don't go reading this topic into all the abstract impenetrable art out there.

Isn't there a review, somewhere, that points out this obvious detail, so we can grandfather it in?

Compare Bohemian_Rhapsody, which is _not_ abstract, because it's a parody of a rock opera. Nobody pointed that out on the page, leaving the page open to wild alternative theories...

Eh? Hmm, yes...But there are bits of brother in there too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtak (talk • contribs) 12:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song title

It has been suggested (e.g. in a new book by Peter Doggett) that the title has some connection with a chain of tobacco shops known as the House of Bewlay. The House of Bewlay chain did exist (I can remember it myself, and there is a further reference here http://www.mcgaheythetobacconist.co.uk/ask_martin_arch.asp?offset=-1), but does anyone know of any confirmation, preferably from David Bowie himself, that it has anything to do with the song? I guess the connection could be that the young David Jones and his friends (and/or brother) were no strangers to tobacco shops!109.158.240.103 (talk) 12:42, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
