I think its about being dragged to the pub with your boss and trying to put on a good face while hiding your disgust and resentment. But maybe thats me. |

What an intense song. Scary, sort of, with the murdered girl swearing that he never meant to hurt her. Just beautiful. Another great spousal abuse song is "Levi Stubbs Tears" by Billy Bragg. Very excellent. |

Haven't you ever known someone with such intense force of personality that it seems like they have you under a spell? What a beautiful and poetic song. |

This song could have been written about me. Girls that would go to any length of rotten behavior to get their way. |

Doesn't it kind of seem like he's gatting with his friends older sister because in some abstract way they are similar. "I only went with her 'cos she looks like you." What a brilliantly kinky song. |

What a sad song. I'd say it's about a poor woman who's a bit past her prime and isn't getting any action. It reminds me of " The Rocking Chair" by The Beautiful South. |

I tend to think that the killer only admitting to "a lie" in the very last line represents that very last second of his life, when he realizes lying to himself now isn't going to get him anywhere. |

Isn't it about a relationship between two people with different spiritual beliefs? I don't think he's talking platonic love but that's just me. It's an absolutely beautiful song anyways. |

Brilliant. Probably the the best transexual song ever outside of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. |
