Take me for drive to the coastline
Pull me to the depths of the sea
Leave me in the middle of the ocean
I can walk the rest of the way

And I promise not to cry anymore
All the reasons beat the crap out of me
Everyday when I wake up they are waiting

But I promised not to cry anymore
'Cause it's the same old plot these days
Oh it's the same old plot these days
Oh it's the same old plot these days
Oh it's the same old plot

Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger
Our love, don't mess with our love
Our love is so much stronger

Oh it's the same old plot these days
Oh it's the same old plot these days
Oh it's the same old plot
Same old plot
Same old plot these days

Oh I promise not to cry
Oh I promise not to cry
Oh I promise not to cry anymore

    "'Cause it's the SAME olllllldddd plot to theeeeeese thinnnnnnngs...."

    Another reason to love Canada, the coolest country.
    TerroristCakes, I dont see how it sounds like Moz at all vox wise, but I certainly agree with the overall sound resembling something the Smiths would roll out. [and Smiths are my favorite

    General Comment:I had this stuck in my head, and I was convinced it was a Smiths song, but I was freaking out, because I went through every Smiths song I knew (which is 99% of them), and I couldn't figure it out. I am a bad Smiths fan, or it sounds just like Morrissey. Or both.

    General Comment:MASSIVE LOL to the person that thought they were from Britain...they're from Montreal in Canada and have been around for a while but always stayed in the downlow. You guys should listen to their previous albums which are also really good. And the new one of course which is just super brilliant. Can't wait to see them live again. They were asked by Morrissey to open for him i think it was in the UK somewhere. Anyway, this song rocks especially "our love, don't mess with our love" but also the beginning of the song which starts with an amazing imagery "take me for a drive to the coastline".

    General Comment:Yeah...Murray totally sounds like Morrissey in this song. It's uncanny!

    I love the feel of this song...it's a bit creepy and then it launches into the "Our love, don't mess with our love" part and everything feels so calm. Great tune, great tune.

    General Comment:"It's the same old plot to these things"

    To me, this is a lament on the way things always go to shit. Perhaps I'm projecting here ;)

    At first, I thought the line said "It's the same old cutlery stains" haha

    General Comment:For me this song is about someone trying to convince himself and maybe his partner, that Their love is true, special and will last, even though most love stories follows the plot aka. ends in misery. I came to this conclusion partly because of the title and partly because the song is divided into two so different parts, one upbeat (Our love is so much stronger...) and one bored/depressed (Same old plot to these things...). When we walk into a relationsship we know it will likely end in pain, yet we hope and make up illusions. For me this is what the song is about. Great song no matter what the words means exactly.
