The Stone Roses: Waterfall

A single from the Stone Roses' first LP,* Waterfall reached no. 27 in the UK singles chart in 1991.

I love that very Nineties chiming guitar sound, but what is the song about? 

A comment on Song Meanings says:

Ian Brown said in an interview that this is about a girl whose fed up with everything, drops an acid and goes to Dover. What would Vera Lynn make of that?

But then writers don't necessarily fully understand their own songs.

* I suppose using 'LP' rather than 'album' is hopelessly old fashioned, but I still tend to write it first before I correct myself.
