Don't You Find? Lyrics
[Hook] x2
Don't you find, some of the time
There is always someone on your mind
That shouldn't be at all
In any place or any kind
She sailed long ago
To a land far away
Overseas, she'll be
In a land of opportunity
I don't know where she rolls
I don't know how she be
I know that I'll see
Sweet young thing one day before I go
And I give what I've got
And what I've got, I got to give
And I still [?]
We're nothing all the years
And I fall from it all
And I'll lose as I win
And I'll know where I go
It's got nothing more for me no more
[Hook] x2
Don't you find
[Outro] x2
Can't remember [?] came here
Oh it's the same here
Oh it's just amazing, son
Can't remember [?] came here
There's so much pain here
Oh it's just amazing, son
Don't you find, some of the time
There is always someone on your mind
That shouldn't be at all
In any place or any kind
To a land far away
Overseas, she'll be
In a land of opportunity
I don't know how she be
I know that I'll see
Sweet young thing one day before I go
And what I've got, I got to give
And I still [?]
We're nothing all the years
And I'll lose as I win
And I'll know where I go
It's got nothing more for me no more
Can't remember [?] came here
Oh it's the same here
Oh it's just amazing, son
Can't remember [?] came here
There's so much pain here
Oh it's just amazing, son

For me this song is about falling in love/having feelings for someone you shouldn't, say because they are already in a relationship with someone else. Like Buzzcocks '''Ever fallen in love...''. evident from-
Don't you find, some of the time There is always someone on your mind That shouldn't be at all In any place or any kind
The next bit-
She sailed long ago To a land far away Overseas, she'll be In a land of opportunity
Is her moving away from him with this other person. Land of opportunity means America, maybe she's gone there or maybe it's just meant to represent her moving ''metaphorically'' very far away, I don't know which I'm not mates with Jamie T...
I don't know where she rolls I don't know how she be I know that I'll see Sweet young thing one day before I go
He doesn't what she's doing now but still thinking about her...
''I know that I'll see sweet young thing one day before I go''..
He dreams he will see her at least one more time before he ''goes'' (dies) even though this is unlikely. However, he can't live without the hope that he'll never see her again, even if it is just once, so he tries to convince/say to himself that he'll definitely see her again even though he probably won't, but he's got to have that possibility in his head.
''and I give what I've got...It's got nothing more for me no more
he know he has to move on there's nothing that can be done with the situation.....
and yet...
'Don't you find, Don't you find, some of the time There is always someone on your mind That shouldn't be at all In any place or any kind
Even though he knows he's gotta leave it and move on as she's with someone else and moving on, she keeps coming back into his head. He can't help thinking about her and wishing she was his and it's hard
Fucking brilliant tune.
