i remember reading an interview with him when this song first came out 20 years ago. He said that he's found a bit of paper on a bus with the words 'Levi Stubb's Tears' on it, which inspired him to write this song of the same name.
nimbus666 is right it's about listening to the hurt and pain in someone else's voice in order ease your own troubles.
"And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort a war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left anyway"
Genuis song.
