| ophelia219... just read your comment... one word... irony. the song is a joke, please stop getting all emo about it, it is a song, it is music, julian casablancas is not johnny borrell so save your arrogant-frontman labels for the razorlight forum (absolutely love razorlight's music, just think borrell is a tit) and appreciate that music is music and that's why we like it. if the words were about carrots and meant nothing the song would still be perfect because it's about the song and not the words... if analysing the lyrics depressed you then you ruined the song yourself, casablancas didn't. i am sorry that you feel that way about the song, but lighten up and take it as a joke. x | |

so it's about a guy with a girlfriend who doesn't stop moaning, he loses patience and in the end just leaves her cos she doesn't shut up. sad? no way. funny? hell yes. Last night she said "Oh baby don't feel so down" Way to turn me off When I feel left out So I, I turned round, "Oh baby gonna be alright" It was a great big lie 'Cause I left that night So she's all "Oh baby I feel so down" and keeps offloading on him, telling him how she feels and stuff which wouldn't be a bad thing apart from she's always feeling bad things and OK, it is part of being in a relationship that you have to be there for your partner, listen to them and understand them and offer advice... but offloading is never a good thing and i mean it is always annoying when people don't shut up about their problems - and that's what she's doing, and he gets pissed off and leaves. the lyrics are not meant to be taken seriously, they are amusing, and the light-hearted feel of the song illustrates this. it's amusing cos it's so hilariously bloke-ish - nobody can put up with constant whining! so perhaps there is the sad juxtaposed storyline of how he feels sad and confused and nobody understands because nobody listens, least of all his girlfriend who keeps moaning about her own problems, and that is why he leaves her, but i think it is more likely that this bit: Oh people they don't understand No girlfriends they can't understand On top of this I aint never gonna understand In spaceships they won't understand And me I ain't ever gonna understand is him imitating the girlfriend saying that she thinks nobody understands her problems apart from him, probably in some soppy way, and he's thinking "well i don't understand either so shut up"... ok so maybe there is a deeper meaning to this but i don't think there is. not all songs have to be sad and about internal torment and sorrow and confusion. the song is light-hearted, ironic and amusing and i love it... it is perfect... PERFECT... i mean, no joke, this is my favourite song of all time ever ever ever... even better live... it's just so reminiscent of the happiest times in my life. |

"Give me a chance, I promise I will come back Honey, this is a bitch I just have to scratch All things considered, I'm not much of a sinner But something tells me that I am missing out" it's about the confinement of being in a commited relationship, surely, and how he doesn't want to be unfaithful to his girlfriend but feels that he's missing out on the fun of being single. this is a wonderful song, it really is - he puts it so well and i guess it's something everyone wonders about. i never really paid attention to the song when i first got the album, my favourites being oh mandy and trust vs mistrust, but it really is excellent. it kind of makes me sad as i guess it is sad that people feel this way but people do feel this way and it's good that it is recognised. x |
