The live version (Peel Session) of this is amazing in it's raw energy. When I heard the live version I really paid attention to the lyrics more. I love the line "wish me luck/no bad luck/ no good luck, just wish me luck" Bill had a real knack for a turn of phrase. One day I think he'll be recognised as one of the foremost songwriters of our time. |

This could be about someone wanting to die (probably an older person) because of a debilitating illness; they don't want to deteriorate slowly and have their relatives/friends see them suffer: "these are the eyes that I want you to remember". The lyrics "This decision is mine" and "don't dare me to breathe" sounds like someone who is determined to go through with their plan, they don't want to be talked out of it and feel it is the right course of action. Despite the morbid lyrics, I find this song quite uplifiting. Musically it sounds almost upbeat. |
