so it's about a guy with a girlfriend who doesn't stop moaning, he loses patience and in the end just leaves her cos she doesn't shut up. sad? no way. funny? hell yes.
Last night she said
"Oh baby don't feel so down"
Way to turn me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned round,
"Oh baby gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night
So she's all "Oh baby I feel so down" and keeps offloading on him, telling him how she feels and stuff which wouldn't be a bad thing apart from she's always feeling bad things and OK, it is part of being in a relationship that you have to be there for your partner, listen to them and understand them and offer advice... but offloading is never a good thing and i mean it is always annoying when people don't shut up about their problems - and that's what she's doing, and he gets pissed off and leaves. the lyrics are not meant to be taken seriously, they are amusing, and the light-hearted feel of the song illustrates this. it's amusing cos it's so hilariously bloke-ish - nobody can put up with constant whining! so perhaps there is the sad juxtaposed storyline of how he feels sad and confused and nobody understands because nobody listens, least of all his girlfriend who keeps moaning about her own problems, and that is why he leaves her, but i think it is more likely that this bit:
Oh people they don't understand
No girlfriends they can't understand
On top of this I aint never gonna understand
In spaceships they won't understand
And me I ain't ever gonna understand
is him imitating the girlfriend saying that she thinks nobody understands her problems apart from him, probably in some soppy way, and he's thinking "well i don't understand either so shut up"... ok so maybe there is a deeper meaning to this but i don't think there is. not all songs have to be sad and about internal torment and sorrow and confusion. the song is light-hearted, ironic and amusing and i love it... it is perfect... PERFECT... i mean, no joke, this is my favourite song of all time ever ever ever... even better live... it's just so reminiscent of the happiest times in my life.
