I relate wholly and appallingly to the melancholy of this track, another one that I can't listen to on the bus because I'll cry in public!!!

It's just about the sadness of realising that you weren't equipped to seek the joys that you wanted and sought from life. you want all these things yet you suffer the torment of knowing that you were in a way defeated before you began and the optimism and hope for life has slipped away.

the pathetic attempt to retain some dignity "you must be such a fool to pass me by." int he face of such a public admittance of the disappointment of life (done whilst drunk?- i've had more than I hold) is enough to break my heart if I let it. ah and the beauty of the music, underrated because I'm not sure if those who have someone to love can relate to this without thinking it whining and self pitying...?

Perhaps you just haven't earned it! they are likely to say!!
