Plaid skirts that hide love
Walk in single file
Ties that restrict blood to the brain
Passing notes in math class
Freedom wear your scars of desire
It's a coming of age story
Freedom wear your scars of desire
Conflicting impulses
Freedom wear your scars of desire
Concealed regrets bent the sky
Bent (bent) the (the) sky (sky)
I've read this book before
Anxious eyes stare out of warped glass
Waiting for the three o'clock bell
I'm trying hard to forget that cold October day
When love challenged freedom to a fist fight
Freedom looked victorious
But no one was expecting the outcome on that baseball diamond
When love reached beneath her plaid jumper
And drew out a switch blade, and drove it
Directly through the heart of Saint Angeles
Go, any notion of self-government
Was left by love bleeding
On the pitcher's mound
You're (so you say you're scaring me)

it's not political at all. Love challenged freedom to a fist fight.. the subject fell in love with a girl. Doing so, he was giving up some of his freedom. It's a battle between falling in love and keeping freedom.
"No one was prepared for what would happen on that baseball diamond when love reached beneath her plaid jumper, pulled out a switch blade and drove it……directly through the heart of st angelis" means, when the songwriter (presumably George) fell in love, he was not expecting what would happen to his freedom. Taken by surprise.
any notion of self government was left bleeding on the pitchers mound means that in the end, if you choose Love, your Freedom dies.
anyway, these are my thoughts. I love alexisonfire. taking_backmonday@hotmail.com
