Cover art for Sebastian lyrics by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

I read in a literature book one time that Sebastian was once used as an alternate name for Lucifer or a lesser demon. I always thought it was a song about a solitary man who felt alone and condemned for what he was or what he stood for. Anyway you interpret it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
