Mexican Standoff Lyrics

Cover art for Mexican Standoff lyrics by Elbow

Pretty much seems to be about two men after one woman. Maybe she was going out with the other man but is now going out with the narrator, or maybe she's deciding now. Either way there's some competition involved. This might be something to do with Guy's relationship with Edith Bowman, and maybe even about how she went out with Editors' Tom Smith after Guy and her broke up. Could be written about any relationship of his though it's hard to tell. Great song.
