Along with "Dressed in Black" and "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" its my favourite Shangri-la's song.
Obviously about a girl who is going to meet up with a guy who she was "going with" but does not love him anymore and didn't have the heart to break up with him in a letter, ad she's reassuring her current boyfriend about the meeting.
Great band. And Mary Weiss (the lead singer) is recording a solo!!
I think this song is deeper than that. I think she's trying to convince herself that she's going to meet him to tell him off, but is worried that his place in her heart is too strong. People who are engaged or married would not bother to meet an old flame - what would be the point? And the refrain of "And there's nothing I can do to turn it around" makes it sound far more out of control than cold and calculating. I heard Nekko Case's version first, and I think that compulsive feel is even more prominant...
