About

This song is about a love triangle between 2 men and a woman. Many believe it’s addressed to William Mackenzie, lead singer of the Associates. In 1993 Mackenzie wrote the song “Stephen, You’re Really Something” in response.

William, It Was Really Nothing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
Oh the rain falls hard on a humdrum town
This town has dragged you down
And everybody's got to live their life
And God knows I've got to live mine
God knows I've got to live mine

[Chorus]
William, William it was really nothing
William, William it was really nothing
It was your life

[Verse 2]
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say, oh
"Would you like to marry me?
And if you like you can buy the ring"?
She doesn't care about anything
"Would you like to marry me?
And if you like you can buy the ring"
I don't dream about anyone
Except myself

[Chorus]
William, William it was really nothing
William, William
