it is an optomistic song, despite its sombre feel. the lyrics are about not sinking to a depression after a relationship ended. its also about sacrifice..."So we sold the car and quit the job
And shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
And we said our good-byes to the bank
Left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack"
this is about making sacrifices for a better future, and sometimes in life, you have to lose things that you dont really need in order to appreciate the simpler things in life. its one of my all time favourite songs and the song that truly got me interested in suede as a band when i saw them perform it on jools holland show by chance.
