Blacks is one of the more unpredictable songs from this record. In it, Jamie mentions his dad, Michael, and how he confessed to him that he wanted to commit suicide. Jamie was well aware of his dad’s struggles before he killed himself in 2002, only a few months before this album was released.
I've got only one bra to my name
He said it's alright
Did he hear that?
Did he hear it?
That's enough
That's enough of even trying
That's enough
Oh, I wish it didn't matter
He told his son
He wants to kill himself
He said it's alright
I have had enough of this life
That's enough
That's enough of even trying
That's enough
Oh, I wish it didn't matter
That's enough
That's enough of even trying
That's enough
Oh, I wish it didn't matter
That's enough
That's enough of even trying
Did he hear that?
Did he hear it?
I have had enough of this life
I have had enough of this life
