@[brobish:29715] Yeah, I assumed it was inspired by the book. Although I would disagree that it's better than Naked Lunch! Vehemently disagree! |

I agree that it seems to be about glam rockers and David Bowie fans. Maybe Peter's even talking about himself. |

@[bottledlife:24893] that's what I love about that line. There's a couple humorous lines in this song. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be funny. |

I don't have any inside information or anything. But just hearing the lyrics makes me think it's about a guy that's kind of creepy and weird but you're on good terms with him because he's nice to you (he always took the time to speak with me I liked him for that). Later Roland gets caught doing something perverse. That's all I got! |

I had a weird experience listening to this song just now. I attempted suicide a few years ago, slit my wrist. As soon as the truly suicidal parts of the lyrics came on, my wrist burned and I could feel it all over again. Physically and mentally. Yikes.. |

| The Smiths – I Know It's Over Lyrics

I just have to note that there are a lot of great lyrics in here, but my favorite, and one of my favorite lines ever is
"It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind" |

@[OnikJohn3:22799] maybe she's such an actress that you don't know where the real person ends and the roles begin. You have no idea if she's being honest, or is a good liar, due to her profession. |

It's basically about an actress, that's pretty clear. Some other commenters have said it's about Marilyn Munroe. Makes sense.
The phrase that stands out to me though is "the graveyard scene". What is that supposed to be, the goth scene? |

| Townes Van Zandt – Kathleen Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
@[sokorny:22648] the lyrics make me imagine a girl that has perhaps walked into the ocean, committing suicide. Then wanting to join her. I think the most hopeless lines are the first: "it's plain to see, sun won't shine today. But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway."
Side note: there's a live recording where he says "for some reason this is called Kathleen", which leads me to believe Kathleen is an entirely fictional person. |

Possibly my favorite songs of all time. I don't have any interesting theories on the lyrics, though. |

I don't know what exactly Daniel Ash was writing about, but it's moody as hell. Comfortably nostalgic, with a hint of sadness. |

I like to pretend this is about Louise Brooks. But other than being one of my favorite songs, I think the lyrics are pretty straightforward. It's a song about heartbreak. |
