sarah, that makes sense. It's as though he thinks the answer "Yes" to his question is the only right one, in the same way that the answer to 5 x 5 is always 25. It's really just showing the character's desparation and narrow mind in believing that no isn't a choice, it's just the wrong answer. When I saw them live, he said that this song was about "trying to make yourself feel better by getting a girl to go out with you", or words to that effect. This is shown in the lines Do you have a drink To erase the day There's another way Hope that shedded a little light on what is a fantastic but slightly confusing song |

| A beautiful song. New album is fantastic. Great song about a loved one moving away, and you both recognise it's over because it's not feasable to carry on. But also underlying this song is a sense of loss of passion for someone. This is highlighted by the idea of sex JUST being an action for the couple. They don't know what to say to each other any more, leaving bleak rain falling outside... | |

| mmm. I do like this song, but can anyone explain what the heck the 5 x 5 bit is about? it seems like it's just random... | |

I love this song, and the new album's great. It seems to me to be about having a secret but fairly obvious attraction to someone who's in/ just finished a relationship with someone that doesn't care about them that much. I especially love the verse: Some people hide their emotions And some people show too much I'm aiming for somewhere central Now isn't it obvious? Also, I'm pretty sure it's he changed his LOOK for you, just in a northern accent. |
