I love this song. I agree with the comments above. I wanted to point people to this song: http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=50509 which, lyrically, is very similar. I'm sure Tom Waits must be one of Kelly Jones' major influences for this song. |

This is quickly becoming my favourite song off this album. He has obviously lost a woman close to him. I think she may be dead, despite the line "you looked so beautiful..." I think the line "I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers" could be a reference to this, i.e. the garden is a graveyard, flowers on the top.
The song seems to me to be about his despair at the loss of this woman. He may be considering suicide ("I thought i'd take a final walk"), but generally everything he sees is disgusting and he hates the world and in his mind the world is being destroyed. |

I think I read somewhere that it's about her daughter, and that fits in with the lyrics for me. it's about cherishing what you have before it's gone. |

I don't think it's so much about losing the muse, more to do with wanting someone to be his muse, but she isn't. The lines:
I look at you and you look at me and
deep in our hearts know it
That you weren't much of a muse,
but then I weren't much of a poet
indicate that to me. Also, he is willing to do anything to have that muse, as he says in the verses " i will lie at your feet" etc. It's a song about envy of the great artists, and also about desire to be one of those great people, but the realisation that he is not really good enough. |
