Cover art for Lady Of The Flowers lyrics by Placebo

I think this song is about a transvestite.

'Scuse me, I apologize he likes your attitude, he tries it on for size' -I think is about how he prefers his female personality to his real male one.

'he spends the afternoon, between your thighs how's that for gratitude, I apologize' -Is ( I think) about how he hates seeing his penis, cause it reminds him that he's male, when he'd prefer to be female, so he tucks it between his legs, ('spends the afternoon between your thighs')

And 'hows that for gratitude?' is saying like, he's not grateful that he's male, and is resentful of it.

Also, it changes from 'he' to 'she', which is indicative that he's changing his gender.

''She wears her tears on her blouse confused and racked with self-doubt'' -Is about she/he feels confused about wether or not she's doing the right thing by becoming female.

''she stole the keys to my house and then she locked herself out.'' -Possibly means, that by becoming female, she has alienated her family, and so is no longer welcome in the family home, or has been 'locked out.'

'She lays me down she lays me'

Is her finally shedding her male personality/body. Laying it to rest, and never thinking of it again, and just accepting herself as female.
