| Dubstar – Not So Manic Now Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
@[InsomniacUK:42354] I'm a Canadian who lived in England for 2 years in the mid-1990s, and acquired this song on a "Now That's What I Call Music!" CD (collection #17 maybe?) For a quarter century, (until today!), I have managed to mis-hear a couple of parts of the lyrics, and 'not really decipher' some sections at all. Which resulted in me not really knowing what this song was about; just really liking the tune and her voice. (Which is rather odd for me! I am usually much more into the lyrics of songs.) I had consistently heard "Because I've been HAPPY for a while..." rather than "UP HERE" for a while. Also, I always heard "I CAN'T uphold the weight of those neighbours..." (Rather than 'I can".) I correctly heard almost nothing of the second verse.... Basically I thought she was a bipolar person who HAD been in a manic phase, but apartment tower living was finally getting to her. The upstairs neighbours were fighting and she could hear the WOMAN herself being thrown against the wall sometimes..... This was enough to snap the singer OUT of a manic phase of her 'manic depression' (implying an imminent swing back into a depressive episode; hence, 'not so manc now'... I DID wonder what 'post-natal harmonies', someone "choosing her flat", and a younger man (his age 25, or 'taking away her pride') had to do with ANY OF IT, though!! |
