Cover art for The Drifters lyrics by Mansun

Maybe I'm bad with history, anyhow, what does this mean? "When Kennedy spoke you'd hear America sigh" .hmm.. listening to this song right now. To me, it sounds like he is saying "'Cause we know, my life is still my own." Did he get the title from the book "The Drifters" can't remember... I love this song. i like the 'feel' it has.
