Another World

To me, the song's about longing for someone who either you can't be with, or who could possibly be living in another time. Richard wrote weird songs dealing with time anyways (Destiny Street, in which he meets himself from ten years ago). I think it's the idea of being in love with the one whom you can't ever be with. "At the time I'm in you / I'm alone in the back room" makes me think that she's become only a fantasy.

It's the idea of love at the wrong time.

I don't know, but I read somewhere that Hell wrote this about a French girl called Lizzy he knew. I think she was a poet too. I also thought that this was about someone from the past, until I read that. But I agree, yes, that she has become a fantasy. I think maybe he's trying to say that this world wasn't made for people like them, they couldn't really be happy in such a mixed up place. It isn't included in the lyrics here, but he says at the end of it "I could live with you in another world/Not this one." I just love the word imagery in this song, it reminds me of Dylan Thomas. The coughing at the end is pretty interesting, too. Very authentic.

Come on guys. It's a song about casual sex. Specifically about the violence that a one night stand or casual relationship can do to the emotions of a sensitive person.
