Lyric discussion by Grunge_Rocker 

Cover art for Bayleaf lyrics by Stone Gossard

I am no expert at identifying song lyrics; Stone may be singing about a man who he looked up to; perhaps a favorite musician or role model. One could easily infer from lines 11-12 that Stone (or a first-person subject) may have homosexual feelings toward this individual, but that the man already has somekind of lover in his life and Stone can't get the man from this other person.

The next line of the text, "he had a different dance, he had a different song" seems to imply entire volumes about the subject of this song and certain preferences. That is my take on it.

There, I have officially disgraced Stone Gossard and marked him to be, well, punished by stoning.
