Cream - Badge Lyrics Meaning

vibe: sombre, melancholy, mysterious, urgency for some worrying matter...

the verses about the times she was in his car, he might have drove her too far... well, there is the obvious implication that passion was overwhelming and a man went too far with his (younger?) lover against his better judgement. To me this song has always had a deeply romantic but regretful, stark and worrisome.

It's always had a haunting quality as does America's Sister Golden Hair and I think it just manages to conjure some situational tension that the listener can't quite be sure why it's there but, in it's succinct simplicity leaves you feeling like something very edgey just happened but with only a cryptic explanation including some fairly solid clues. Very nice work. A song doesn't need to explain itself, it's just a song and that's a cool thing about pop music, it affects you in a strong emotional way with no reason and no excuse, haha...
