| "Don't let the bastards grind you down" is a saying that was popular during WW2 amongst soldiers, basically meant to just keep going despite external hardship or whatever | |

| That makes more sense, now that I listen to it properly. When it came through as it being about what I thought originally, I misheard the "It's so neighbourly" as "It's all make believe", in that the victim wouldn't be believed by anyone as they're just a child with a wild imagination | |

This to me sounds like a song about sexual abuse by a family member (an uncle or something) of a child. "I am your family tree" - Obviously, he's saying he's related to the victim "I know your A to Z" - He knows everything about his victim "This is a secret proposition" - The threat not to tell anyone about it "Lay your hands on me" - Forcing them to follow his demands Other stuff shows the trauma his victim is subjected to and that he believes he doesn't have a choice "I see your hands are shaking but / my heart is breaking me down" "I'd love to pour you some of my lemonade / And get it off alright" - should be fairly self-explanatory |
