Don't bother asking for explanations - she'll just tell you that she came....in the
Year Of The Cat
I sing this song in karaoke, and love it. It was my first favorite song.
From songfacts.com:
"strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre Contemplating a crime" is certainly an allusion to the 1931 Fritz Lang movie "M", in which Peter Lorre plays a man who sexually abuses and then kills children. "a silk dress running Like a watercolour in the rain" definitely reminds me of a Vietnamese Ao Dai suit. My guess is that the year of the cat is 1963, since 1975 and 1951 were years of heavy warfare, and there were certainly no tourists in Vietnam.

I go strolling thru the crowd thinking that I'm part of the Department of Pre-Crime, contemplating catching someone contemplating a crime.
