"Simon" as written by Brett Anderson and Neil John Codling....
Open your eyes and live again
And I'll open my heart and love again
I'll open my mind deep inside yes I know its blue
We all believed in Amsterdam
Paris and Spain and Vietnam
No one believed you
When you said your heart was blue
It's raining inside
And it's raining tonight
And it's raining for me and for you
'cause all that we see
Is a life fucked by money
And a world of celebrity fools
(Oh Simon) Are you lost in the pollution?
(Simon) Are you somewhere in my soul?
(Simon) Are you nothing but a notion, oh?
(Simon) Where do we go?
Now planes write your name up in the sky
And flowers die for your suicide
Trains stopped in vain and the pain stopped for you
And we all believed in insulin
Perfume and soap and ventolin
But no one believed you
When you said you heart was blue
It's raining inside
And it's raining tonight
And it's raining for me and for you
When nothing makes sense
But the pounds and the pence
And the dollars and cents, oh we lose?
(Oh Simon) Are you atoms in a jam jar?
(Simon) Are you somewhere in my soul?
(Simon) Are you nothing but a photo in a passport?
(Simon) Where do we go?
Oh Simon
Oh Simon
Oh Simon
And I'll open my heart and love again
I'll open my mind deep inside yes I know its blue
We all believed in Amsterdam
Paris and Spain and Vietnam
No one believed you
When you said your heart was blue
It's raining inside
And it's raining tonight
And it's raining for me and for you
'cause all that we see
Is a life fucked by money
And a world of celebrity fools
(Oh Simon) Are you lost in the pollution?
(Simon) Are you somewhere in my soul?
(Simon) Are you nothing but a notion, oh?
(Simon) Where do we go?
Now planes write your name up in the sky
And flowers die for your suicide
Trains stopped in vain and the pain stopped for you
And we all believed in insulin
Perfume and soap and ventolin
But no one believed you
When you said you heart was blue
It's raining inside
And it's raining tonight
And it's raining for me and for you
When nothing makes sense
But the pounds and the pence
And the dollars and cents, oh we lose?
(Oh Simon) Are you atoms in a jam jar?
(Simon) Are you somewhere in my soul?
(Simon) Are you nothing but a photo in a passport?
(Simon) Where do we go?
Oh Simon
Oh Simon
Oh Simon

Simon Holbrook is Brett Anderson's friend.
He suffered from melancholia,suicide in 1996.
The lyrics here are incomplete though.
I don't know the real meaning, but a friend told me it's about Simon the Clown (know him?) who, like all clown are always smiling, that's why no one believes him when he said his heart's in blue..
