     Hi Kira
     
     It's funny, I always found this song to be almost the opposite, the 
     reaction of someone hurting emotionally who needs to find a place to 
     hide that they know and trust.  Some of us run to under the stairs - 
     some go under the ivy.  (Incidentally, we have a local area called 
     Willingham Woods where Ivy (Helixia) grows rampant, in amongst it are 
     thorny wild roses - pink and white!!

Er.. my take on it? It's about love, and sex.  Go on, "under the leaves.. 
go right to the white rose"  it is rather suggestive.  
     
Mebbe that's just me.

	who once danced an interpretive modern dance to "Under the Ivy" 
in dance class, in senior year in high school, in 1986. It was a silly 
dance in a dress from Pier 1 that was supposed to look like a Greek chiton. 
And I was in *luv*, for the first time, that year, with my best friend, 
who occasionally seemed to return my feelings. This may have something to 
do with my interpretation of the song.
