about

We added some vocal layers later, but this song is the first take live off the floor recorded at Teletune studios. We tend to favour first takes but we usually record a few just for safety's sake. this time we set up and ran this down just for levels. We kept it. I love the Beatle-esque qualities to it (there are lots dom7th chords voiced the way they did, and I think that is what gives it that vibe, that and the plethora of quotes through-out). This song has the other guitar solo of the album on it (a nice long one which makes up for the lack of them on BOTH albums).

Lyrically the song is about leaving a bad relationship and was written in 1997.

lyrics

Life isn't fair,
and I know I've said it should be.
What can I say,
when I treat you this way?
the look on your face,
almost tears my heart to pieces,
but that's how it is,
we can't go on this way.

'cause I don't like what we got
I don't like the way I am.
I won't stay something I'm not, just because I can.
Well I can.

When I look in her eyes,
I feel all the feeling that I,
put deep inside, but they never went away.
What can I say?
I never thought I'd ever see her,
but now that I have we can't go this way.

'cause I don't like what we got
I don't like the way I am.
I won't stay something I'm not, just because I can.
Well I can.
