Possibly the best song on UM, after a few listens my personal take on this song is about SJ's frustration at narrow minded people not being accepting of other peoples social backgrounds-
"Still if there's one thing I can't stand
It's standing next to my fellow man"
The song positively points out minority groups be it drugs, sexuality or race/origin-
"For the social worker at the needle exchange
For the soft medicated and the hard deranged
For the lesbians at the bakery..
For the teenage mother with the baby asleep
For Africa where life is cheap
For losing faith in who you're going with"
SJ is calling out for people to accept people as they are and being aware of their inner beauty-
"When I see your face
I want to be in the human race
Stand up and let me get a look at you
Can we all take a wider view..
You're beautiful it's true, I want to be beautiful like you"
