The reason why, oh I can't say
I have to let you go babe, and right away
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time, you had me believe
That your love was all mine
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know, that you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone, oh when you're gone

Now I gotta say, that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play, your games anymore
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole let better
When you're gone
Yeah I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Oh when you're gone
Oh when you're gone
Oh when you're gone

    You've screwed me over one last time. Now get out so I can feel better and get on with life.

    Yup. She cheated on him, he found out and now he thinks things will be better for him if she leaves. They've been together for a long time, and he had no idea she was being unfaithful, and he can't continue to see her and pretend things are the same because she hurt him too badly. Nothing to it.

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
