Haha, I love this song so much because it's so much closer to the true idea of goth than so much other stuff. What you have to realise is that if you want to dress in black, wear make-up regardless of gender and listen to creepy music you have two options: taking the piss out of yourself or being a total cock. Ironically you do need a fine sense of humour to carry off being a goth and still have friends that aren't merely after your fishnets. This song is a perfect demonstration of that sort of principle. It's a mocking but rather sympathetic look at the ultragothic stereotype (I think it would have to be somewhat sympathetic as TON are a goth metal band), clove cigarettes etc. and really actually saying what I've just said: you've got to laugh haven't you? Otherwise it's like fucking the dead...
