Fairly cool but till doesn't explain the 'just.' Kev seems to be referring to a woman with the 'no matter how long you do your hair.' He's obviously ripping into her by saying 'nothing ever changes' when referring to her. This is then juxtaposed with 'Everything is changing...' where he is more likely talking about his life (recent success etc) and also referring to his relationship with her degrading with the changing life (...not necessarily as a result of it...) 'Just' is being used as an adverb here (describing the verb which in this case is 'be' - 'But she'll just be excited) The specific meaning of just used in this text means you could replace 'just' with 'merely' or 'only.' Let's say in this verse perhaps Kev is speaking of the growing distance in between himself and the woman. By putting 'just/merely/only in front of excited he is inferring that the woman may have expected a different result - his mum could have reacted more ominously in light of his life changing or been sad about the relationship because she actually gave a shit about this woman but 'she'll just be excited' A less polite way of saying it could've been "Even my mum thinks you're a joke" So by putting 'just' in, not only is the audience is informed that the woman expected the mum to act differently but they are left unsure about exactly how she actually expected the mum to feel about the relationship breakdown. He's saying that she think she's special, without making any direct accusations. But that's just my interpretation, Hope it's not 'Un'logical |
