Are You In Love With A Notion? Lyrics
Run away from this God forsaken place
And hide away from everybody's prying face
You told Deborah that he is the one
You're going to quit Debenhams
Elope and get married in the sun
Have you really thought this through?
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all
You linger on a feeling
That you can't quite put your finger on
Reminiscent of a summer in the Isle of Wight
But you think that it's too late
To back out at this stage
You need to emancipate
Step back and disengage
Have you really thought this through?
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all
I dunno if he'd stay or if he be on his pedalo
Cramping from the frantic pace
You told Alison next door
That all your dreams were made
But then your home screen flashed some more
He never was one for serenade
Have you really thought this through?
Is he really the one, really the one?
Have you really thought this through?
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all
And hide away from everybody's prying face
You told Deborah that he is the one
You're going to quit Debenhams
Elope and get married in the sun
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all
That you can't quite put your finger on
Reminiscent of a summer in the Isle of Wight
But you think that it's too late
To back out at this stage
You need to emancipate
Step back and disengage
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all
Cramping from the frantic pace
You told Alison next door
That all your dreams were made
But then your home screen flashed some more
He never was one for serenade
Is he really the one, really the one?
Is he really the one for you?
Why are you so in love with a notion?
It doesn't do you any good
It doesn't do you any good at all

I think it's a great way to describe the fact that some people fall in love with an idea or perspective of someone rather than who they actually are, they think of them as who they want to be. In the case of this song, this person seems to have really rushed through their relationship. Great song by a great northern band
