I completely agree, some 14 years later with ctlizyrd's above interpretation on the message within the lyrics of Not For Second Prize. One last genius stroke of the pen and the strings from Dream Academy, and Nick Laird Clowes.
Most love affairs have a beginning and an end, whether all parties involved want it ot not. Such is the case with our love affair with the D.A. - and without knowing exactly how to say goodbye, i think this melody did the deed quite brilliantly, and in N.L.C's typical mysterious, melodic and cryptic way. I'm ever sad that the ride is over. I'm forever grateful for the memories.
