"Billy Liar" is the first single released by The Decemberists. Deriving its title from the English novel "Billy Liar", the song also references the "Nogood Boyo" Dylan Thomas' "Under Milk Wood", and appears to generally talk about a young man's masturbation fantasies. Musically, it has an upbeat, somewhat piano-driven, rather poppy sound.
