The Lemonheads – It's A Shame About Ray Lyrics 13 years ago
My take is:

It's about the double meaning - it is a shame that Ray died, but also that he never took the time to know him and/or understand Ray's circumstances.

"Not too good with names" - is a response when you should know the person being discussed

"The cellar door was open" - would refer to refer to the depth of the subject matter and/or depth of his thoughts

"I'll know tomorrow not to put my feelings on display" - fact it may not be manly or masculine to be sensitive to this man's tragedy

"Putting the cobwebs back into place" - is returning to life as it was before. Not being overly concerned with such matters
