Cover art for Have Fun lyrics by Beautiful South, The

This is what happens when two people start fucking. One wants to the stay, and the other just wants to stay inside. "Have fun" of course is referential in part to promiscuity but also to commitments, which if forced, are "not fun." But it is also about a deep honesty, which is lacking in society. The two definitely aren't compatible, and one person is trying to save the other a world of heart-break, much like the one he's already experienced. "Someone took my heart, and now I'm torn apart." Yet, with all that said, misery loves company, and as much as he hates relationships, he likes having her around. "The final match to the holder of this flickering flame." So in the end, it isn't even about love, and it isn't even about fun, but more about desperation, and the deep need for intimacy, which is easily confused for both fun and love. And besides, the guitar solo at the end is just so pretty.

"So in the end, it isn't even about love, and it isn't even about fun, but more about desperation, and the deep need for intimacy, which is easily confused for both fun and love." EXACTLY. And to think you were brilliant back in 2007 before I knew you, gaijinnippon:) (Is that a type of speciality mustard???)
