Can someone explain this song? This is my interpretation: The brother had a past affair with the singer's wife (Jane). He hasn't spoken with his escentric brother in a long time, and now he's writing him to forgive him for ultimately making his wife happier (with whom he has since reconsiled). He is also reflecting on the troubled state of both their lives.

you can guess as to whether I'm either ticking the "sounds like a twat", or the "because I'm right" part of your comment. You know the answer...

jclwhite, it is generally considered to be Leonard singing about himself at two different ages, as if the young and the middle-aged man have somehow met. Leonard had a blue raincoat in London in the early sixties, and did toy briefly with scientology ('going clear')

cannot be done better than this. no cover version will do justice. i sound like a twat, but i'm right.

Im not sure what the lyrics really mean, and I don't think, like so many songs, there is an answer to what they mean, it is just about how they make you feel. "And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you Im glad you stood in my way."
