Anyone who wants to have a go at an alternative scenario, has my blessings! I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind a Titanic-like crossover 0:P

Meaning behind the song "No Milk Today - Herman's Hermits"

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Sure, but you have to google the lyrics though ^^

In England, milk was delivered to the door in glass bottles and there was usually a regular order ("Two pints, please"). The empty bottles were rinsed and left on the doorstep for the milkman to pick up with the next delivery.

It wasn't unusual to leave a note in the top of a bottle for any variation ("one extra pint, please, we have company" or "No milk for the next week, we are away") "no milk today" was the most common, usually because for some reason the previous day's hadn't been used. Of course this matches in with the general thrust of the song.
Only one person is living there now, the other has left, so not so much milk is being used, hence "No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why"

And in case you're wondering, "just two up, two down" describes a small English terraced house with two main rooms on the ground floor and two bedrooms above. I was brought up in a 'three up, two down' terraced house.
So, the final meaning is that a couple were living together in a small, very working-class house, but their love made it a palace. But now she has left him and he is alone with only his memories.
