This is my favourite song off Holy Hire. The lyrics are quite straightforward. It's about addiction. The speaker has a bad habit, maybe drugs or drinking, and he is having a bad influence on his friend or his lover. "You've fallen again, the way I fell before" could either mean a relapse into addiction or that he and his lover got back together. He keeps warning her to stay away, but also hopes that he will one day change his way and things will get better for them.
I like the melody of the lyrics in the chorus. I think that it is one of the most melodic and the most catchy they've ever written. In fact, its bluesy sound and the calling out to God thing made it unlike Foals that we know, but I am liking it. I think they've found a nice balance of style and substance. Watch the CCTV session and you will love this song.
