Contents. Lyrics The 'riddling' lyrics caused much puzzlement and speculation among listeners as to their meaning; Kershaw claims that there is in fact no meaning at all, simply being a 'guide vocal' thrown together to fit the music. Kershaw has stated: 'In short, 'The Riddle' is nonsense, rubbish, bollocks, the confused ramblings of an 80s popstar.'
