I had no idea there was more than one versions of this song. Each seems to tell a slightly different story. I don't know what Dave was thinking when he wrote this version on Busted Stuff, but to me, this version completely and accurately describes what it is like to suffer from depression. Everything becomes hopeless and grey. Even if you believe in God, you can't connect with him. When people try to tell you sensible things, you can't make sense out of it. You feel emotionally cold or numb. And you want so much to break out of it, but you can't help but lock yourself in your house on the corner of Grey Street and The End of the World
