A fantasy can be every bit as addictive as reality or maybe he is just drawing on someone else's experience. Not all songs are necessarily autobiographical - This Is A Lie is a perfect example of this.<BR/><BR/>Also, Robert has indicated many times in the past that a lot of his songs are made up of many different topics - there is no reason to think that that cannot happen here.<BR/><BR/>BTW, that is the question I actually sent to the Official Shite - does he still mix and match his songs, or are they now subject specific?<BR/><BR/>I'm Kent Brockman and that's my two cents!!altr2elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189273569462390132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-29629461136900767132008-10-19T21:27:00.000-05:002008-10-19T21:27:00.000-05:00'this is a lie' was, also, a song with a disparate...'this is a lie' was, also, a song with a disparate point of view than his own. he said it was the only song he ever had to explain to mary.sofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203337426030528019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-18442834590550049702008-10-19T21:23:00.000-05:002008-10-19T21:23:00.000-05:00well, sofia, my Only One, good point.let me also s...well, sofia, my Only One, good point.<BR/><BR/>let me also say that Robert has said in interviews that he often writes from a perspective that is entirely NOT his own.
