In the movie "Kingpin", this song makes perfect sense because Roy Munson, (played by Woody Harrelson) goes back
home to Ocelot, Iowa after 17 years of faults and failures on the Pro bowling tour, drinking, philandering,
lying, cheating people out of money etc. and finds that the town isnt what he remembered and is feelling guilty
of it. Roy's "Perfect World" was his hometown and in his sadness "so blue I cant begin to say" is when he dis-
coveres what the town has become. It's ironic because as Roy's life went downhill for the last 17 years, so
did his hometown. I think that Roy at this moment in the movie has an epiphany to start improving his life.
The movie sum's up Roy's life in general. The "they found her in lake" verse i'm not too sure on, but the
lyrics "you should see my scars you'd think I'm made of stone" makes sense as well because Roy's scar was his
missing right hand. I have this album and this is a great tune, great album. People I think can connect to
this song if it seems so that this is what their life is like.
