When I was a big Morrissey/Smiths fan (oh wait, I'm still a big fan) I just thought that it was a good song, and didn't care much about lyrics at first. However, I was listening to the song on the way to school, back home from school...like a good schoolboy, this time listening with adult ears. What it seems to mean to me is that the one character is so in love with the other, and the other person (which gave the good lay - the Suedehead) isn't so interested in them. But they soon discover that the character is obsessed enough to write about them in their diary. So the Suedehead poses as liking this person enough to give them the lay of their lives so that they could go through the diary and find what was written about them (so many illustrations). But the main character understands the Suedeheads intentions and that they never really liked them. "It was just to see, just to see" (All the things you knew I'd written about you...). That's what stood out to me. Suedehead - I thought of this too, and while it isn't an everyday word, it makes sense in many ways. SUEDE is smooth and soft. Which the Suedehead used smooth tactics and was very "soft hearted" in order to trick the other person appropriately.
