They Know Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by freakishfae 

Cover art for They Know Me lyrics by Voltaire

I think in line 4 that it's "impotant" and not "important". But anyway...

his flames are yesterdays tinsel and his belly's the sail that propels him onto the rocks

Suicide...? Makes sense. After all, the chorus I think, is reffering to him being in Hell ("finally you've come to a place where they know you well").

and you know that even the noble don quixote would call him a mile away for a windmill

"Don Quixote" was (if I recall correctly) a book written a loooong time ago about an inept old man who tries to be a brave knight... I really don't understand the second line there, though... ><
