Lyric discussion by curefanx13x 

i once heard online from a comment from robert smith that he and simon gallup were talking about how many dufferent ways ther were to skin a cat. and they said "there are definately six differnt ways." So thats apparently where it came from!

@curefanx13x Yeah, I read in one of their biographies that the genesis of this song was definitely a discussion of how many ways there are to skin a cat. Don't know if it's true. I kinda like the idea that it's about how Robert deals with the press.
