its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I don't know where to go
'Cause I know where to go
Well I know where not to go
'Cause I know where to go
Tonight we're gonna find our lover
Tonight we're gonna find our man
Riding six white horses
Wearing them pressed blue jeans
Gonna behead the king
And give the queen everything
'Cause tonight we're gonna find our lover
â??Cause tonight we're gonna find our man
We're gonna find our
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know what to do
We know what to do
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know anymore
I know I look high
But I'm just free dancing
I know I look hypnotized
But I'm just table tapping
'Cause tonight we ain't gonna find our lovers
Tonight we ain't gonna find our man
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know what to do
We know what to do
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know anymore
We don't know anymore
'Cause I know where to go
Well I know where not to go
'Cause I know where to go
Tonight we're gonna find our lover
Tonight we're gonna find our man
Riding six white horses
Wearing them pressed blue jeans
Gonna behead the king
And give the queen everything
'Cause tonight we're gonna find our lover
â??Cause tonight we're gonna find our man
We're gonna find our
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know what to do
We know what to do
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know anymore
I know I look high
But I'm just free dancing
I know I look hypnotized
But I'm just table tapping
'Cause tonight we ain't gonna find our lovers
Tonight we ain't gonna find our man
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know what to do
We know what to do
We don't know where to go
We know where to go
We don't know anymore
We don't know anymore

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
one of my favorite blocks in the Mission...
