Matthew Good – A Single Explosion Lyrics 17 years ago
Well he said his ex-wife never came to visit him when he was in the hospital after his overdose. I kind of take this song as him talking about what he wished had happened.

He dreams about her coming and showing she actually loved him by being in the ICU with him and putting her head on his chest. But it never happened, so it's kind of a bitter song.

(Or it could be about his mother, but that's not how it feels to me).

The Libertines – Campaign Of Hate Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm going to have to disagree with everybody here about the Charlene line. As far as I've ever heard, 'the cut of your jib' means the way you talk/what you're saying. So he tried talking like he was black with Charlene, and because she liked the 'cut of his jib', he spent three days on his back... with Charlene.. get it? Anyway, that line always makes me smile, along with the way he says 'Oh my God!' Love it.
