Someone Like The Moon Lyrics
She likes to watch the moon as it travels through the sky
cause she's heard that it's romantic, though she really can't see why
Someone should have helped her through the day
Someone like the moon
So she drinks a cup of coffee and telephones a friend
and she asks if she can make it so this night will never end
Someone should have helped her through the day
Someone like the moon
But the light comes, and the day bleeds through the sky
and the sun, the sun makes it hard to get through
and the radio only plays love songs, so she cries
though she knows it's such a bad thing to do
In the evening it gets better, and she thinks how it's not right
that someone so stupid can so easily screw up your life
Someone should have helped her through the day
Someone like the moon
But the light came, and the day bled through the sky
and the sun, the sun made it hard to get through
and the radio only played love songs, so she cried
though she knew it's such a bad thing to do
can't you see?
can't you see?
someone should have helped her through the day
someone like the moon
cause she's heard that it's romantic, though she really can't see why
Someone like the moon
and she asks if she can make it so this night will never end
Someone like the moon
and the sun, the sun makes it hard to get through
and the radio only plays love songs, so she cries
though she knows it's such a bad thing to do
In the evening it gets better, and she thinks how it's not right
that someone so stupid can so easily screw up your life
Someone like the moon
and the sun, the sun made it hard to get through
and the radio only played love songs, so she cried
though she knew it's such a bad thing to do
can't you see?
someone should have helped her through the day
someone like the moon

I think this song is simply about loneliness and depression. Romance is not only missing from her life, it's never going to happen, she knows it, and it depresses her. Love songs on the radio only serve to mock her.
And what makes it worse, none of her friends -- if she even has any -- helps her get through her loneliness.
The quiet solitude of a moonlit night provides some comfort, but soon enough day and real life return along with the loneliness.
i think this song is genius . my interpretation is that firtlt it is about how some people try and evoke a romantic deepness about them which they don't have "she's heard its romantic." i think its about afirl who ignored a dreamer poet someone like the moon and now shes missing him. i am proud to be first to comment on this song its pure class.im sad at the lack of comments on jarvis cocker's unique lyrics
