Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy and born to create
Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done?
Done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, hair
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come
Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done to your hair?
Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy, born to create, born to create, born to create, born to create
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come
And wear your hair in bunches
And your jacket loose
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy and born to create
Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done?
Done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, done to your hair, hair
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come
Now baby, what've you done to your hair?
Is it just the same time of year
When you think that you don't really care?
Now baby, what have you done to your hair?
Wear your eyes as dark as night
Paint your face with what you like
Wear your love like it is made of hate
Born to destroy, born to create, born to create, born to create, born to create
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come
And wear your hair in bunches
And your jacket loose
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Clear your heads and get ready to run
So when you hear this autumn song
Remember the best times are yet to come

Anyway I'm not sure what it's about, the politics of most Manics songs are lost on me... I just know it's a great rock song.
I think it must be about being young (this opinion is influenced from the video which has lots of young guys and girls on it), also "Remember the best times are yet to come" leads me to think of youth. Maybe the song is about staying young for as long as possible and enjoying it rather than trying to rush through it, because then you have to grow up as you enter "Autumn" like the Autumn of your life.
Well thats what I feel, when I listen, I think back to school and college and the friends I don't see anymore.

indianSUMMER
..........the others have the lyrics about winter and spring.
I (and my big bro) recon this is like the four seasons being like simbolicly the manics, JDB, Nicky, Sean and of course Richie.
and in your love alone, has like the solo bits at the end, you have seans drum solo, nicky style gitar by the hairy welshman himself, and james dean bradfeilds little guitar and singing bit, but there is a blank bit where Richie james's guitar would have been, basicly saying, like, "we will be here mate, if you come back,"
I feel sorry for nicky, he missess richie so much.
MANICS RULE!!!
When you think that you don't really care"
and the self loathing and depression that the condition can bring. I love the song anyway, great rock song, but I would say its a clear meaning, fascinated to hear any other view on it though.
"Clear your heads and get ready to run" just seems sometimes that its the only thing that will make things work if you just run away from it all or even just physically run to vent anger and depression.
'wear your eyes as dark as night/paint your face with what you like' - his make-up;
'now baby what have you done to your hair?' - he shaved his head before he disappeared.
Plus some possible references to his lyrics:
'wear your love like it is made of hate' - "Little Baby Nothing"? ('dress your life in loathing')
'So wear your hair in bunches' - "Yes"? ('tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want')
Just an idea, SADS also makes sense.
You are bang on with those lyrics.
