Mexico Lyrics

This song means alot to me. I once had a year long relationship with a married mexican girl. I always felt that she was too perfect for me, that she never tried to get one over on me it was just natural that if you think someone is so perfect then you will always feel below them. Anyway it ended because she never left her husband and so I moved to spain. Mexico to me always represented a different world that one day I could go to and forget the things in my world, the bit about cinco de mayo to me always adressed the part I felt where yes you have a romantic image of latin america but you dont really get the culture fully. There are as many reasons not to go as there are to go. I don´t know, maybe thats just because I come from rainy old england
