| Morphine – In Spite of Me Lyrics

Is this song meant to be cynical? What I mean is, do you think the narrator is bitter when he say "in spite of me"? Obviously, thats what it seems like, but the music is so wistful and melancholy... when I first heard it I didn't pick up on the bitterness because the song is so beautiful. In any case, I guess its about an ex that he wants back, but hes bitter because shes moved on and he can't yet. |

Nice interpretations from everybody but I think and_how is probably closest. These guys are the best band I've heard in a long time, and this is probably my favorite song on the album. Consequently, I've listened to it a lot, and there were clearly a lot of religious references, but it didn't quite click until I read and_how's interpretation above. Thanks for making a great song even more enjoyable! |

Thanks Jack, I appreciate the historical background. I'm glad that someone had more to contribute than just " Band X ROCKS!" The Pogues board is much better than most though; I'm a bit too drunk to write any more. "But how can your punctuation be so on the money" you say? Well my lad, it took a very long time, and I edited myself. Cheers! |
