Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
There's times
There's times when I look around
There's times when I look up and down
Up and down my street
And I'm not very pleased
You complain
You complain behind a twitching blind
Writing strong worded letters to The Times
And you might even post them
If you dared go outside
I can't mind my own business
Thats why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you
There were times
There were times when I truly believed
That everybody was out to get me
I know that's no longer true
Cuz now their out to get you
And these days
These days there's a kitchen knife
At the bottom every Bag For Life
So keep yourself to yourself
Or you'll end up in a canal
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you
With you
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you
There's times when I look around
There's times when I look up and down
Up and down my street
And I'm not very pleased
You complain
You complain behind a twitching blind
Writing strong worded letters to The Times
And you might even post them
If you dared go outside
I can't mind my own business
Thats why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you
There were times
There were times when I truly believed
That everybody was out to get me
I know that's no longer true
Cuz now their out to get you
And these days
These days there's a kitchen knife
At the bottom every Bag For Life
So keep yourself to yourself
Or you'll end up in a canal
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you
With you
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business
That's why I've never, never had a trouble
I can't mind my own business, yeah
That's why I've never, never had a trouble with you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Cheers! One possible alteration:You put 'You complain You complain behind a twitching line' Is it possible that it is 'You can't blame, You can't blame it on a twitching blind' As in a paranoid person constantly looking out from behind their blinds? Just a thought. Again cheers for the lyrics
Thanks I do it by ear so any fixes are appreciated though listening again I think it might be:<br /> <br /> 'You complain<br /> You complain behind a twitching blind'<br /> <br /> Which makes sense with the following lines as he's talking about a shut-in who moans and 'Writes strong worded letters to The Times' :)
