OH! I just thought of this. And it makes sense. But if it has any correlation to the entire 1. Outside album, well then, I simply do not know.
I think person it could be about a guy who has suffered a loss (wife, girlfriend or lover dying) and this song is about how he feels. Perhaps this dead woman is Miranda. And then this Ramona character is the new “interested” lover on the scene. He is attracted to her, but can’t help but feel like he is cheating on his dead partners (Miranda’s) memory. He has perhaps lived in with this Ramona, and she’s gotten into his head and Miranda’s old clothes trying to be her. Thus is he asking his father (I don’t know why, but I call my father “Paddy”) for help and support (“will you carry me, I think I’ve lost my way”) in telling other family to leave him alone in “a fantastic death abyss”?
In the end, he tells Ramona “if only there’s something between us” – as an excuse to run off and away from the situation he has found himself in. Falling in love with another after the passing of a loved one is, in my eyes, the hearts filthy lesson.
“Always a diamond friendly” – there will always be someone other bright gem (person) around for you, even after the death of a loved one.

There. Take that meaning.
