Whenever I listen to The Kinks, I always seem to be hearing lots of irony. Here too, it doesn’t seem to me that this is a straightforward ode to a guy. For example, note the last few lines:
And all the girls ... try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
ant then a sort of significant pause that I believe means that David doesn’t seem to be interested in girls...
@sobot Likewise the line "he is so gay and fancy free." David's got more going on than just being the head boy, but the narrator seems oblivious about it.
