Raoul is Roland's son (in real life), and Roland's family is originally from Spain. This song and the same-titled album was, I believe, recorded soon after a very difficult time in Roland's marriage. Possibly Roland was having an affair, or had been thinking about it. (See my comments on other songs from this album.) Hence the lyric: "Did you know all mothers come from heaven? Did you know all fathers come from hell? That is why they're at sixes and seven. ["At sixes and sevens" is an English phrase that means being in conflict.] That is why their marriage isn't well." This statement is directed at Roland's son, Raoul, and pretty much says it all.
