I always thought that this song was just another goofy Sparks song, about a man who is so desperate for fame and stardom, yet, the only song he actually knows is 'My Way.' |

@[the3shadowspt2:9803] Oh, and the line about the baby refers to being desperate enough to commit crimes to gain money in a society wherein poorer people are treated as criminals. |

My boyfriend and I were trying to figure this out for the longest time. His theory is that this is an anti-capitalist protest song. 'Fish' is sometimes a term for a follower or subordinate as in a 'school of fish,' in which fish mindlessly follow each other. The fish being pointed at the narrator basically equates to 'pointing the blame' at socialism when it's truly the capitalist's fault. The 'I will always exist' line means that the political ideation of socialism will still be an underlying belief amongst the oppressed, despite 'The Man' trying to push it down. The 'wind of prostitution' refers to the stock markets, which are often compared to the 'world's oldest profession, AKA, it'll always exist. The 'classic gentlemen are being told to pray for their stability. The oppressed pus is all the poor/disadvantaged people, which, as is stated, riddle the narrator's breast, ie. put a burden on him/he feels sorry for them. And 'to your faces, and Rex complexes' is a polite way of calling someone quite an impolite name. Basically, it's a pro-socialism, anti-capitalist song, in his interpretation. |
