FYI the song was written by Peter Perrett of The Only Ones, and he was/still is a heroin addict. Although only a theory, it is said the song is about the joys of taking drugs. The refferences to rehabilitation, "I look ill" (not said in Blink 182's version) and "I can't live without it" (also not in Blink 182's version)indicate that this is the case. It is CERTAINLY not about loving a girl, although that is how it appears, there are hidden messages in the song which people do not understand (Blink 182 included)
And I prefer the original version. It was unique, Blink 182 make it sound like a trashy American pop song. That is not the type of song Another Girl, Another Planet is. It's like doing a cover of Anarchy in the UK and singing it like these muppets.

@clemencau Couldn't agree more. Absolutely tremendous song ruined by a throw away pop-punk band that nobody will remember in 10 years.
