When I first heard the song, I was a kid. I thought about WWI, how there were the Germans facing the British in the trenches, and how each side felt.
"I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it"
and
"You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it"
Both sides have an idealised image of life on the other side. My childhood interpretation doesn't fit with the video, but it still means something to me.
