| From what quilty_party said it seems pips identity is somthing of a secret. The good news about that is if your interpreation is that billy brown is pip himself and take something different from the lyrics you can. I like this idea of yours. | |

You are dead right with how the song means different things to different ppl. This tends to be the same with any philisophical ideas, and in reality nobody can live their life perfectly down to a strict ideal code. What i find is pretty kl is that he kind of addresses this actual fact in the last verse (my fave as well), it almost says "all these benificial lessons are all very well, but in general life it's difficult to change who you are as a person for the better or worse and take on all advise. Reality check on Baz Luhrmann's 'everybody's free to wear sunscrean' |

| haha yeah kinda made the pip=pip connection, i meant i think that could be one reason he chose to do the song in this way. Or possibly even why he chose that name to go by as a lot of his lyrics are life lessons. | |

lol yer i obviously did think about Pip being Scroobius Pip and it's pretty obvious that he is indeed the Pip in the story as he starts by describing his work as being dream-like - exactly as this song is. I just thought there was a further reference to Great Expectations due to the layout of the teachings. If this was not meant it is certainly an interesting parallel between the two Pips anyway. And yer interleckshual def right about the words being mixed up. Would make no sense at all how it is written at the top. |

List Of Characters: Pip : The protagonist of the song refers the main character of the Charles Dickens novel 'Great Expectations'; Philip Pirrip. Pip's life in this book is split into three 'expectations' in which he learns life lessons, much like the song. The final 'expectation' of the novel is a harsh truth that brings him back to earth; again like the song, Elwood P. Dowd : The main character from the play 'Harvey', in which Elwood belives to have an imaginary friend called Harvey (Who whispers to Elwood in this song). He was condemned to be changed into a 'normal human' via injection, but his sister later decides that she would prefer to keep the old Elwood than change him. Lloyd Dobler : Character from the recent film 'Say Anything...' Which is a classic romantic film about Lloyd falling in love with a woman called Diane. After many obstacles they finally end up together. Billy Brown : I think theis refers to the R&B singer from the groups 'The Moments' and later 'Ray, Goodman & Brown'. Walter Neff : The main character of the film 'Double Indemnity'. Walter Neff is an insurance salesman who is convinced by Phyllis Dietrichson to help murder her husband for the insurance money. After the murder he realises that Phyllis has infact been playing him and he tries to kill her himself. They both shoot each other; Phyllis dies straight away, but Walter survives long enough to confess the murder of Phyllises husband to his co-worker. Walter Neff is a good example of how a generally good guy can fall to the murder of two people. I am not sure about my reference to Billy Brown, can anyone help with this or any other corrections? |
