This is the best cover of this song I have heard. The depth of passion in this song - and in all of Chrissies work TBH - is astounding.

Other versions, I have always understood to mean "you are very special, wonderful, and I wish I could aspire to being like you. Unfortunately, I am just a creep and a wierdo, who shouldn't think such things". However, this version is much more like "You think you are SO very fucking 'special', don't you, and I am just a lowlife you can't be bothered with? Why am I wasting my time with you?"

It is different, but with the same words.
