about

There's no allegory or deeper significance to this. It's just a song about a guy named Stan.

lyrics

Mr. Flames overcame
all the guff around his name
the effort was gargantuan
no one would use his first name, Stan

Mr. Flames was not the same
it's hard to say who was to blame
inertia is the cruelest law
each codicil, he fought them all

don't call me Mr. Flames
I'm not that guy
don't call me Mr. Flames
and don't ask why
don't call me Mr. Flames
call me Stan

Mr. Flames outlived his fame
the focus fell out of the frame
we all forgot who he used to be
could have been you, might have been me

and now they don't call him at all
