This one's for you
This one's for me
This one's for you
This one's for me
I've got a nervous feeling over you
But who am I fooling,
I like airline food
I need to feel whole
I need to feel young again
I need to be bold
and start using my tongue again
They can laugh as they cry
They can cut till I bleed
But I ain't losing
'Cos this one's for me
This one's for me
This one's for you
This one's for me
I've got a nervous feeling over you
But who am I fooling,
I like airline food
I need to feel young again
I need to be bold
and start using my tongue again
They can laugh as they cry
They can cut till I bleed
But I ain't losing
'Cos this one's for me

"i need to be bold & start using my tongue again"
getting back into relationships again... hes using the metaphor to show how scared he is, but how much he wants it.
i think he means start talkin again, saying his piece! (ps. i love this song, and i love this website, ive always analysed songs!)
While Damien Rice's version changes the lyrics in the prechorus a bit, the meaning's still the same -
Overall, this song sums up the end of a bad relationship - there's a powerful desire to be free that becomes absolutely necessary. Independence - "This one's for me."
maybe i'm just filthy minded and not imaginative at all but i automatically jumped to the oral sex conclusion, "this ones for you, this ones for me" and "i need to be bold and start using my tongue again" then again sex just automatically comes to mind when i see Paul Noonan :)
