hi there LukeB, I think you're halfway there, mate. It's about a guy who's figured out his girl is cheating on him, but he's still in love with her... so he's gonna visit her at midnight and see if he can catch her out (hence the title of the song).
the first verse, they're... well, gettin' it on ;) and he's musing how the housemate in the front room must be feeling, etc etc. the second verse has him thinking about why she's so... different in the sack (your greedy new manoeuvres, they woke me in a fright) and now his head his is going crazy, so he's going to get some sort of closure, which is the bridge. then the last verse is his attempt at climbing the side gate to get in the back and falling, hurting himself badly enough to need an ambulance. I'm wondering if he was able to peer in her window via the gate and saw something he didn't quite like. the next part is like he thinks he's dying, but his injuries prolly aren't that bad. it's his heart that's hurting more than anything else (it's not enough to be in love with you, I want to be loved too).
this song always makes me laugh, but it's so sad at the same time. and Tim's damned good at that. funny lyrics to take the severity off a song. it's a wonderful skill and one of the many reasons I've been a fan for all these years. :)
