Lyric discussion by hereticeye 

my interpretation of this song is that its about two ruffian youths... friends since children... one of them turns out to be gay... and tells the other... or he finds out...

one youth does not want to hang out with a poof and the gay kid is saying 'what difference does it make?' 'cant we still be friends?'

CONSIDER............. 'all men have secrets...' 'yet you start to recoil...' 'nopw you know the truth about me, you wont see me anymore...' 'yr prejudice wont keep you warm tonite...'

the best part is 'you must be looking very old tonite' meaning old ways...
