This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
It's a sunny day outside
Lovely sunny day outside
Happy butterfly outside
I'm locked up inside
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
Such a lovely day outside
Fairies waiting
Birds are flying in the sky
Office meeting
Perfect temperature outside
Let's go swimming
Freezing deep inside
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
I met some friends of mine
I used to call them friends
One of them was not so hairy
One of them was not so scary
I ran into a girl I knew before I was on TV
She stopped to get my number
'Cause she said that she was glad to see me
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
Lovely sunny day outside
Happy butterfly outside
I'm locked up inside
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
Such a lovely day outside
Fairies waiting
Birds are flying in the sky
Office meeting
Perfect temperature outside
Let's go swimming
Freezing deep inside
I don't know if I can hear another tale
Of how amazing you can be
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
I met some friends of mine
I used to call them friends
One of them was not so hairy
One of them was not so scary
I ran into a girl I knew before I was on TV
She stopped to get my number
'Cause she said that she was glad to see me
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
I don't think that I have really ever seen
Just how amazing you can be
