You're telling me I should forget you
But why..
And your talking like I never knew you
But that's a lie..

And you're playing out your game again
Why are you never on my side,

And your telling me I should forget you

Come on the guy's a fake
What do you love him for.
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
What are we crying for.

You're telling me I will regret you
But so..
And your talking like I should expect to
But you'll never know..

And he's left you in the rain again
And you were always on my mind
And your telling me I should forget you

Come on the guy's a fake
What do you love him for.
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
What are we crying for.

I don't know anymore..

    the damien rice story is a load of crap. just all made up. glen said it onstage, that damien's a friend of his and it's not about him at all.

    think this song is about regret.. A person losing someone to someone else that doesnt love the person as much as he does.

    I don't get the first interpretation, but whatev. This song is incredibly powerful. Anyone who has ever seen them play it live knows this! Plus, if you know anything about Glen and have ever meet him, you know he isn't a greedy about fame and he is very humble. Also, he is as Irish as it gets, especially when it comes to women and loneliness. Definitely about a woman.

    umm yeah the frames and damien are friends. and damien rice puts the frames songs in the middle of his. thats how i found out about them. the first comment is really dumb.'look inside of your subconcious mind' OK... well anyway, its about a girl that leaves still in love and now shes found someone new so shes trying to cover it up and just says forget her but he knows. he kicked through his door. he knows.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

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."
