hm. "three kinds of yes"

-lust yes -drunk yes -i don't care yes

I never interpreted this song to be about durgs until I came here (discussion boards on youtube are crap, everyone is very rude). I originally saw it as a a song about a guy who lives his life in a wild manner, drinking, partying, rowdy behavior etc; And comes across a young girl, beautiful, pure and unspoiled. To him, she is fascinating in her innocence, but he knows better and sadly only settles from watching her from afar, knowing that nothing good would come between them. So he goes home a reflects on his life.

I've been wanting to hear an acoustic version of this song, without the background keyboard things.
