it is about suicide, its about a guy kelly actually knew, he jumped infront of a train. it was from when kelly worked on a market stall and the guy came to ask if he knew the train times. its the body blocking the train lines and the blood is whats painting the everything red. quite a morbid sad song, but still brilliant, an anthem of life.
The painted red part of the song is about a painted pier. No one died in or around Cwmamman at the time the song was written or recorded. The song is about a guy who Kelly knew from Colwyn Bay who killed himself on the trainlines, The pier there had 'just been painted red' and the photo of the guy was on the front page of the news. So contrary to popular belief the story was not based around Cwmamman.
