Belle & Sebastian – Seeing Other People Lyrics 18 years ago
I've always viewed this song a little bit differently. I always saw it coming from a guy's perspective as the girl he really likes basically calls the shots in the relationship. The dude cares for her so much and doesn't want to lose what he has, so he lets her make the call on "seeing other people", despite his views on the matter.

"Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us"

To me, that makes it sound like he's putting up with all her BS of dating other people, while that's not at all what he wants to do.
Also, the line;

"Cause we're seeing other people
At least that's what we say we are doing"

This to me sounds like he's kind of bitter sounding as he states that, "well it's ok for you to kiss other guys because we're 'seeing other people' anyway".
