Ray has a way with words, you can hear the emotion he feels and also look at Dave that song hits home for him as well.

not agree with cato, this song is deeply sad, about a father who has been separated from his daughter, I THINK RAY IS A UNDERRATED GENIUS.

HEI YOU FUCKING SHIT DAVIES QUINN - You are the typical sufferer of PMBS - Psychotic Mother Binding Syndrome - suppose you are licking her too , hei - and of course you are a back jerker too ???? Og homosexual, as the sort is called....... quouting your fucking crap here....: " A sad story about a father divorced from his kids crossed my mind too, but it may not be that innocent. You have to ask yourself why he's lost his kids. You could go either way, and on the creepy side, he molested his own daughter and now has rehabilitated himself somewhat ("I've learned to appreciate you the way art lovers do"). Ray Davies is a masterful lyricist in terms of his perfect ambiguity. "Lola" for instance never outright states Lola is a transvestite - it only hints." YES IS IS NOT ONLY THAT INNOCENT - BUT THE FACTS FOR THOUSANDS OF DIVORCED FATHERS IN THE WORLD - shut you fucking DIRT !!!

I consider my late grandfather an Art Lover because he would sit and watch me for hours dancing to Shaun Cassidy and whatever else I put on. He was a Art Lover not a pervert. I totally understand and love this song.. I know tha tthis song had something to do with the loss of his child he had with Crissy Hine(sp?) I( lovingly think of my grandpa when I hear this song. Thank you for putting it on here.

haha... no it's not. It's not even close to left open. There is only one interpretation. But it's satire. Kind of like Nirvana's Polly.

"I'm not a dirty old man" but I consider old. So for me what was taken from him was his youth.

This is an ambiguous song which intentionally leaves you wondering about the narrator and his motivations. People who read sexual innuendo into it are not misunderstanding it. The question is left open.

I understand the view of the song, man losing his own daughter/similar. But certain aspects of this are just too unsettling: "Come to daddy", "jogging in the park is my excuse to look at all the little girls" (I know it says pretty in this version), "Come to daddy, I'll give you some candy," "I follow her around for hours". I feel like some of these lines could definitely be omitted without losing the meaning. I also want to say: Facial hair changes Rays looks DRASTICALLY!
