Cover art for Lord Anthony lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

well gender doesn't necessarily matter here. What does matter is what its about. It is about the difficulty of growing up different than everybody else. Making it through the hardest years without anybody who understands you. As for the reference of Anthony as a Lord, thats referring to how hard it must be. I mean really its hard enough having friends and people to help you, but alone?
