About men who beat up women, hence the references to Mike Tyson and John Lennon who are both known for being violent towards women. She has bloodstains on her scarf, and somebody's asked about it and it's been covered up by the excuse 'it's just a bit of gazpacho'.
"Gazpacho" is a cold soup. While I agree that this song is about powerful men who abuse women, I think the title and track makes specific reference to the O.J. Simpson murders. The title refers to the quote "revenge is a dish best served cold", since Gazpacho is also a "cold" soup, this makes sense. I also agree that since Gazpacho is generally reddish brown in color, references that others have made also makes sense as an excuse for stains on clothing (in a general sense for woman who are abused). O.J.'s revenge on his former wife and boyfriend, was certainly "cold". Other references give hint to this, "Drive the road", "you think they will forgive a hero anything".
Saw you walking on your velvet lawn
Is it lonely on the moon?
You took a dive and swallowed all you could
Did you drink too much too soon?
Nothing left for you to fight about
And no one wants to see you try
The nearest neighbours are a mile away
Does the ocean hear you cry?
Punching at the sky
They say the King is losin´ his grip again
They said you´re bullet proof, they said you feel no pain
It seems the hero is misunderstood again
Is it love or is it surgery
Makes her seem so ill at ease
As she´s begging you to please calm down
In her silk Armani on her knees
Did you carry out those threats I heard
Or were you only playing macho?
And the stains on her Versace scarf
Were they really just Gazpacho?
