Mulder & Scully Lyrics

Cover art for Mulder & Scully lyrics by Catatonia

It's about a single woman in love with a married man who loves her back but can't leave his family, for kids or other reasons, so he is suppressing his feelings and avoids getting too close with her, causing her confusion and suffering because she can see his feelings.

It's a cry of desperation, being trapped in this hopeless love, wanting to get free of it but unable to, and although she doesn't want to break his home and replace his wife, she can't help but dream about being his only woman.

Her desperation has grown to a point where she is considering something she'd never approve - romantic affair. "Must we all march in two by two by two?"

She wants him but she doesn't want to be a reason to break his family. "And as for some happy ending, I'd rather stay single and thin"

Her guilt is fighting her desire. She is very puzzled herself but she is proposing to have a secret affair.
