You're the matador and I'm the bull
You're the brass key hole I fit into
You're the wind and I'm the weathervane
You're the strawberry blonde and I'm the grey
You're the light and I am the firefly
You're the star and I am the blackened sky
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul
If we find the light and turn it into ourselves
They will hunt us down like animals
In the morning clouds will cover you, oh well
In the afternoon the sun is yours
Find the lion deep inside your heart
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul
Stroke by stroke
You fill my empty soul with colour
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul
You're the brass key hole I fit into
You're the wind and I'm the weathervane
You're the strawberry blonde and I'm the grey
You're the light and I am the firefly
You're the star and I am the blackened sky
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul
If we find the light and turn it into ourselves
They will hunt us down like animals
In the morning clouds will cover you, oh well
In the afternoon the sun is yours
Find the lion deep inside your heart
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul
Stroke by stroke
You fill my empty soul with colour
Tell me, yeah, sing your song
For my lonely soul
Tell me you sing your song
For my lonely soul

I went to see Billy play an acoustic set for Club Blub in Bishops Stortford, and before he played Strawberry Blonde he said, "This is about and for my girlfriend Rowena Alice Lewis..She's really hot" lol!!
It's an amazing song..in fact the whole album is amazing!
“That song is also about me feeling guilty over what I think I put Charlotte through in our relationship, and also realising that for a long time I wouldn’t be anything without her.”

Sometimes things have duel meanings...who knows...
I saw them play a live version of this on "Live From Abbey Road", on the Sundance Channel. It's even better than the version on the album.
