Lyrical meanings part 1: Suzanne Vega.

Lyrical meanings part 1.

Marlene on the Wall, by Suzanne Vega.

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

As she records the rise and fall

Of every soldier passing

Suzanne Vega had a poster of Marlene Dietrich on her wall in her bedroom watching over her “soldiers” conquering her. Popstars really are dirty birdies.
