This heart breaking song is one of Joe Jackson's saddest songs. For me, the lyrics sum up the confusion of emotions one feels at the break up of a long term relationship and the fear of being suddenly alone, the weekends on your own, those long nights.......The music is also so breathtakingly beautiful and so solitary, like standing alone on Southsea beach, looking across to the Isle of wight in the middle of the night, seeing the twinkling lights........
