I just put up a post then scrolled up and saw that great minds do think alike haha I basicaly had the same interpretation my post is down 2 if you would like to read it. It is hard to imagine that most people haven't come across this idea. i felt it was obvious... most people try to inertprit songs by relating them to things in their own life. Again great post and I agree completely...

Citizen Cope – Pablo Picasso Lyrics 14 years ago
my friends and i have debated the meaning of this song for a long time now... In my opinion I believe he is refering to a homeless man or a street performer and the statue of liberty and it's representation of freedom... I have put my opinions in quotations for each verse below.


The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers

"the statue of liberty is extreamly tall and has been in more movies than you can count"

And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous

"again a homeless man or street performer probly street performer new york being the most popular place for both and being handed quarters and treated like your famous for performing on the streets of new york is very common just ask the under wear cowboy in time square"

I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
And when the night arrives
The light hit her features
And the cars drive by
Just so they could see her
And she never bats an eye
When someone takes her picture

"He wont leave america because the world is in parrel and the lights hit the statue at night revealing hidden features, the statue is the one thing that people will want to see even if only for a second threw a car window" "I would agree with a previous meaning that it's a billboard of a movie star but people usually don't take pictures of billboards nor drive out of their way just to see one"

Mr.Officer if you've come to take her
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher
Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah

"no one can take his freedom without a fight"

If i had a pistol
I'd brandish it and wave it

"freedom to bare arms"

She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
She's gonna testify on my behalf
Down at the Navy
So I can get some peace
And provide for my babies

"the opportunity to defend your country and provide for your family"

I got a stick and a bottle
I'll pretend I got a razor
Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station
They say that a wild man defending his lady
But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting

"This last part i still can't decipher i'm not sure about the painting part it's the only part that could be refering to a billboard of sorts"
