the canto:
"When everyone's a stranger
They call for you by your first name
And laugh at jokes you once made
when you were a kid "
i think i understand.
its about people thinking they know him just becasue they have a silverchair cd.
its about being judged by your previous actions.
the line "and laugh at jokes you once made" is a reference (i think) to him being in silverchair and not allowing him any room to develop as a msuician - they will always think of him as the acanthine haired youth who wrote israels son.
in my opinion, anyway.:)
