Yeah... maybe it's about a pedophile.. interesting point of view. I've analyzed this song for hours during a project I lead during my school, and never has that been my conclusion... anyway, what I found in this AMAZING kashmir song: the singer/teller is the man described in the lyric. I do not think it's about pedophiles, I think it's about fame. Making love to you kids could, just as well as it could be about sex, be about the sort of 'forced love' there is between a parent and their child.
There's many aspects of the song, that I don't connect with pedophilism (is that a word?) at all. Like when he kisses here lifted-up cheek - FAME! The affect fame has on a person, and how he can seem shallow and not deep, the lampshade itself being his outside. The light bulb is his real and amazing inside, that noone ever sees - except the one who tells the story, it's like he sees the light from inside, though it's not very powerful anymore.
Making love to you kids, just to get back to that - this famous guy will never know, who's in it for the fame, and who isn't, but he knows that his kids must love him. He believes so, at least. And therefore he has a fence 'round his house, to keep them close to him. The're all he got. And the woman, whom's cheek he kisses, is not a kiss of love or even caring, it's a kiss of equality between two stars - two novas.
But, my eyes are opened to a whole different angle now. Pedophile.. wow. !
