Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst
potential?
Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter
how experimental?
Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your
hometown?
Did you think you were buying safety when you
bought that piece of ground?
She said all the best freaks are here
She said all the best freaks are here, please stop
staring at me
So I said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at
me
Have you ever woke up, sweating in the middle of
the night?
You search the darkness and you're scrambling
for the light
Have you ever walked down the street, heard
bootsteps following you?
Don't worry my son, you've got the spook squad
looking after you
He said all the best freaks are here
He said all the best freaks are here, please stop
staring at me
So I said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at
me
Stop staring at me
Airport terminal, patiently waiting on the last call
You feel the eyes burn the back of your head
Sign the autograph, get out of the picture, gonna
have the last laugh
Feel the whispers as you head for the plane
Stop staring at me
Love and linen sheets seem so very far away
You save your pennies and you buy another day
But after all it's only hide and seek, just another
game
There's so much fun to be had when you're living
with a name
All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are
here
Please stop staring at me
All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are
here
Please stop staring at me
They said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at
me

Just the line "All the best freaks are here" gets to me. Ive always been a freak (And proud, Damnit! ^^) And this is a great song FOR freaks.
For me, it's about an artist (Fish himself?) getting back to his home town. He contacts with his old chaps, they talk about their youth and past experiences. Although they're kinda freakish, he really enjoys their companionship, and he realises his live away from the real home is hollow, and in fact he feels insecure and unhappy. However, he knows he has to leave - he's a household name, and his place is somewhere else. Show must go on - he needs to earn another day.

I need to point out, that I'm not great interpreter of Fish, as my English is lacking. I actually followed my intuition and senses.
Greets.
For me it's about fame and its downsides. Actually, Fish quite often refered to this topic.
