This song, chronicling the ending and aftermath of a toxic relationship, is often taken to be about the breakup of bandmates Stuart Murdoch and Isobel Campbell. Both were still members of the group at the time of the single’s release in late 2001.
Campbell left the group in 2002 and later released...
I need someone to take some joy in something I do
You need a man who’s either rich or losing a screw
You know I love you here’s the irony
You’re going to walk away intact
I think you never liked me anyway
You like yourself and you like men to kiss your arse
Expensive clothes, please stop me there
I think I’m waking up to us, we’re a disaster
You don’t want to know me
‘Cause you move in circles of the brave
Where art defines their lives
She was the one love of my life and I let her go
And if I look like death today, then please let her know
I never wanted to do harm to her
I only wanted her to see the beauty of the world surrounding her
But when she opened up her eyes, it’s much too late
Our chance has gone, she’s with a guy
Who takes the prize for everything I ever showed her
Digging all the fun because she’s older
I fed her with a spoon, I made her mother smile
I helped the kid survive
She was the one love of my life
She showed me the road
I loved her dog, her steady gaze
The chapter is closed
I always wanted all the best for her
The best thing was to stay away
She grew up and she left the rest of her
And now the understanding’s gone
I haven’t changed, how could I?
I’m pretty much the same person
I cannot keep the anger hidden anymore
But lucky for you, you are not around
My anger turns to pity and to love
The season has arrived
The season has arrived
