i'm not entirely convinced this is about a relationship based on sex. can't see where that might be suggested. to me, it's just a song about someone knowing that someone else has done something awful. i love this song's dark and almost spiteful nature. The instruments (guitar?) used on the track before "i've got your number" are played harshly, and it really suits the theme.

i heard an interview with Guy Garvey saying even how he wrote such a dark song, he couldn't help but put in the final line. Even though this person has done something bad, the protagonist is still completely taken by them.

excellent song!
