Gollums song revisited - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have always thought this, but I saw someone whos views contradict my own. The song "Gollum's Song"(#19) I thought refered to Gollum's good and bad side. (Or stinker and slinker as Sam so put) as Gollum always reffers to himself as we, so the "We are lost we can never go home" as Gollum cannot. Then Gollum's evil (pardon my bluntness) side speaks back with "These tears you cry, have come to late, you are lost, you can never go home." Then now I see that there is another point of view, that Gollum is speaking to Frodo. I see the logic in this, but I still like my reason. I want to know how others feel this song should go.

"Was there ever any like him?" said Pippin,"Except for Gandalf of course. I believe they must be related."
