Harry Manback was a "friend of a friend", he asked to stay with Maynard for a while, then ran up the phone bill, I'm pretty sure that this was in the UNDERTOW days, but maybe a little after. The band thought that it sounded romantic if you didn't speak english of italian...imagine a lover singing this to you and years later you found out what it meant..."O my fuck!?! My husband called me an asshole of shit!?! I hope I can get him to give me anal now..." Yeah, good times. This is a cynical look on love and how it can be mistaken for hatred, and the other way around. After all, you can only hate someone if they hurt you and that basically means that you care about them one way or another.
