reference to CHe in Travis song

[Che Vive]

i recently purchased Travis' new album and in one of their songs called "last train"theres a reference to Che but i didnt really get what is Fran Healy meant by it could someone clear that up for me?

[Che Vive]

here are the lyrics of the song in case you guys havent heard it yet.
Rain on the brain
Now there's flowers in your window
She, well she's so strange
I don't know anything about her
But if it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna write a song
Gonna sing it to everyone
And then I'll sing it to you
'Cause it was you that wrote it too
This could be the last train
Search within yourself for feelings
Everybody's got them
You left me on the shelf
And now there's no-one to rely on
But if it's all the same to you
Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna buy a gun
Gonna shoot everything, everyone
And then I'm coming for you
'Cause it was you that drove me to
This could be the last train
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Woo-woo
Rear window
With the room in her hair
And on her jacket
There's a picture of Che Guevara
As he sits beneath the tree
But that's not important
But he look a bit like me
If you took all the
Little feelings in your heart
And took all those
Little feelings apart
Oh well now
What's the point in
Doing all of that?

perhaps he meant that he looks like Che (i strongly doubt that!) or perhaps he meant that it is not really important what u look like, but instead whats important is what ur like inside... or maybe he really didnt mean anything...
i mean i write a lot of lyrics and most of the time i dont mean anything, but ppl can interpret it in ways i would never imagine! come to think of it, thats the beauty of the whole thing...

and i would like to see that picture with che sitting under a tree, since i never came by such thing...

what else do u listen to?

[Che Vive]

im mostly into rock music because its the only kind that offers good lyrics in our days.

[Titus]

on the original picture of che (the famous one, that is) there are tree-leaves to the right of the frame. maybe that's the tree?

i just got the invisible band the other day. great stuff :)

[Conghaileach]

Eh, The Man Who was much better.

The REM song "Chorus And The Ring" also makes a reference to Che. I'll have to see if I can find the lyrics.

[Titus]

The Man Who is great :)

travis has recently had a concert here in Iceland, I went to it and it was really good..me friends dad is very good friend with fran, I think he is a leftist..

[Niggo]

I think Good Feeling is their best album... and i heard their new song the other day...great stuff!!

They played a smal gig up here in the music centre, i had tickets but eventually had to sell them to pay for my saxaphone. Which was annoying :(

But yea, im not sure what the reference to Che is about
