"I went home and thought about the two of them together
Until the bath water went cold around me"
That's such an evocative and sad line. My mate got me into Billy Bragg about 20 years ago and, while I haven't got everything he's ever done, I still think he's easily the best lyricist ever.
The last line of this song is just brilliant, the stark realisation that she isn't something special!
