Who was Sting singing about in this song?

I always thought it was about Quentin Crisp.
Could be wrong though.

Edit: Actually, I think he's in the video.

Thanks for that info Bob

I always thought it was Quentin Crisp, who was, as mentioned above - in the video which accompanied the song.
Love the song. Love the video. Love Quentin Crisp.

to the best of my knowledge, it was about quentin crisp - and the only thing sting sings that i don't mind listening to.
