Ok... here I go... This is song is in the slow, smoky category of Gomez songs. It hilights Ben Ottewell's bluesy vocals that are really unique in music today and it's his vocals are what makes this song great.
It's a classic tale of breaking up with his girl, which is a theme often visited by the boys. I like the first verse about how he liked her from the start because she rescued him by getting in his way, which I take to mean that despite their fighting, she got him out of his routines, which is good.
The rest of the song seems to be about how he feels that for good or bad, it's over between them and we'll see if it was the right decision or not in time, and it'll be like a bedtime story... that is so cool. "A 1000 times, in tidy lines, Let blood flood the town" is a little scary. It brings up imagery of the lines of somenone getting cut, but the tidy lines could be the 1000 times they hurt each other with lies and fights, and he's tired of it and they should let themselves bleed out their wounds in forgiveness and move on. Good stuff.
