This is my favorite Cracker song - nice mellow song with introspective lyrics. As a rock star you get to see the world. But your world doesn't come with you. Drink (bottles in the canals) and strange women (the stranger with your face he followed) are substitutes, but they don't quite compare. I'm not sure if he thinks being around the world (i.e., being a rock star) is a good trade-off or not. What do you think?
