I was reading Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray and immediately thought of this song. "Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse" represents Dorian's desire to remain youthful while his picture takes on the consequences of his sins. "Tell me please tell me Henry" probably refers to the character Lord Henry Wotton who corrupts Dorian with his philosophies. I like to think the drum references refer to Dorian's love of music and how it always moves him, but he can never express that feeling in words.
