Baby baby baby, yeah
Western Union man
Send me a telegraph
My love has taken a tumble
Ooh, but I'm still standing
You're such a natural, sing
Yes, that's what you are
Say, I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It makes me try, sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
Shake a bitty
Didn't I come insisting a sight of wonder?
Didn't I come resisting a higher decision?
Didn't I come insisting a sight of wonder?
To your life
Say, I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong
But it's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
Sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It makes me try, sweet little mystery
That makes me try
It makes me try, try, try, try
And oh, just think of the magic, ooh-ooh
Don't think it is tragic, hey hey hey
Just think of the magic
Come on listen
My love has taken a tumble, woh woh
My love has taken a tumble
Come on listen, my love has taken a tumble
But I'm still standing
And if only, only, only, only, only
Only love me like you used to do
Just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try try try
Come on listen, hey
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try
(C'mon, c'mon) love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble

0General CommentNever mind that, what's with the wrong lyrics at the beginning? 'Western Union man?' Isn't it supposed to be 'Souness'? My dad told me they sang those lyrics because Graeme 'Souness' was the manager of Glasgow Rangers FC at the time, and that's the football team Wet Wet Wet support, so... Listen to it. Honestly, it sounds nothing like 'Western Union man'. It's like 'Sooooouneeess' lol :PLibertine1on May 15, 2006 Link

While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
