What is the meaning of the song "Piazza New York Catcher" by Belle and Sebastian?

I love the song, but it's a little confusing.


So I was just wondering what it's really about.








Thanks :]|||Mike Piazza is a catcher for the New York Mets. New York papers suggested that he was gay, causing him to have a press conference announcing that he wasn't. His career batting average is .319, but I suppose it may have been .318 when the song was written. The pitcher is probably Sandy Koufax, one of the greatest southpaws of all time, who refused to pitch on Yum Kippur. The Giants would be the San Francisco Giants, the statue is probably the giant Willie Mays statue in front of SBC Park. Mays is regarded by many as the greatest living ballplayer.|||I believe its somewhat of a love song, describing the romanticism of running away with a girl. Describing things that maybe she (the subject of the song) would only understand. Cryptic!


It also vividly describes some new york landmarks.|||Laura T. you're in a mess


You had a dream, they called you king


Of all the hipsters, is it true?


Or are you still the queen?





Like getting blood out of a stone


The Yahoo! Answers left you all alone


You came to question, but there's no poignancy


When they all leave you standing alone...|||I've never listened to the song but Mike Piazza was/is the catcher for the New York Mets.
