Well, Alan, I really enjoyed your analysis of "There Goes a Tenner"
since it all made a lot of sense and was really interesting.
However, in her Newsletter, she states (roughly...)

"It was just a simple song about bank robbery, with no real
deeper significance..."

However, sometimes even the artist doesn't realize certain
subconscious motivation behind their own song, so you never know.

Actually, in this case, it probably would have been better for her
not to try and explain the songs, since it robs us of the chance
to pile our own meanings onto it....
