I feel the second verse hints at an abortion and ex girlfriend maybe ex wife. He said at the time that it was speaking of him and Amanda's feelings toward their mothers, but he met her later then the "meant to stay in love" line implies. He wrote White Baretta in his latest album. I think it's more autobiographical than most expect. |

From what I know Dave grew up in Falls Church which is right on the borders of Arlington and Alexandria. Just drive up Columbia Pike if you're in DC. There is no "Arlandria" that I saw when I lived there. |

I know what he has stated about this song, but I\'m thinking there\'s something deeper because that "you tore down my memories" seems a bit bitter for that. Political Climate? \n\nGuess we\'ll never truly know. |

@[lemmy999:38815] as the others said, it lends itself to the Bridge as well. He envies the guy outside that has his freedom though he knows nothing about him, he may not have a friend left in the world, walks to work and probably sleeps alone. |

My first girlfriend played this for me back then and asked me to listen closely, I thought it was stating sexual frustration and said I agree. I was 15 she was 16, she was with someone before and after 9 months I still hadn't gotten her that far. I wasn't ever sexually agressive with girls, letting them come to me while she was passive as I was I guess. She broke up with me a week later. I avoided this song for years. Later as a mature adult, I understood the relationship side that is implied and saw what she meant. |

Obviously this has the personal meaning to Robbie that others have mentioned. This song wasn't made to be a hit obviously and it got very little play on the airwaves and hardly any video attention which is a shame.
This song resonates with me personally on the double meaning of what a lovely holiday, in that I had a trip with a love interest (thought she was the perfect one, "saved me from drowning" after a bad issue before) in 94 to Costa Brava that went off the rails when she got her monthly on the bus ride down (in which we were hugging and cuddling like it was our honeymoon) and she presented that to be a huge detriment to us "hooking up". I respectfully kept myself within arms length if she needed me and wasn't pushy. She must have wanted pushy because she "hooked up" with another guy on the last night (beat me up on the beach) and didn't come back to our room until morning (20 paces then at dawn, died and reborn as platonic friends over time). Everything we gained romantically was thrown away (lost, returned or broken) and we had nothing more to prove or goals between us (dragons left to slay).
The long ride back to Germany was definitely "lovely" and I had nothing funny left to say indeed.
All for good though, since I met my now wife three weeks later.
Masterful song though.
