| This song is great. This is exactly how I feel. If you're gay it's quite obvious that this song is about being gay. "The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding, They won't listen to a word you said" Is so true...It's like: "When are you gonna find a nice girl to marry? "*Sigh* ...I'm gay..." It's a pretty genious song. | |

| I'm not sure whether its definitely about Jake Shears, but i'm fairly sure that it's about a gay guy coming out to someone close. "It's a struggle, livin' like a good boy oughta. In the summer, watching all the girls pass by" | |

| Yeah, I saw that interview and it said that it was about how the lead singer came out to his mom. It is such a good song that is supremely catchy (I get it stuck in my head all the time). The video, if you ever get the chance to see it, is also pretty good and you get to see all the members of the band. | |
