"@[jism:36595] your NAME is appropriate to my understanding of the song..."

My apologies, I omitted the word: "name" from the first line of my original response, and I have no way of editing it.

@[jism:36594] your is appropriate to my understanding of the song. It seems like a very carnal tale. The two(?) people are caught under the spell of their intense physical feelings for each other. They never get to discuss their feelings and life and moving forward. Every time they meet... it just descends into this intense and passionate encounter... the world comes to a standstill while they're together. But... then real life comes around (until next time).

I love the music of the Tindersticks. I wish I understood what this song was about. Who are the "men in suits, and black shiny shoes", does this event take place at a funeral? Are these men CIA or FBI?

Clearly to me, there are 3 definite people involved in the account. 2 appear to be very close "Together you squirmed and wriggled" while the third is more like, just, a friend of them "And I could only jerk along behind".

Please if someone has any input. I'd appreciate it. I'd be keen to know your understanding of the song.
