Its a fecking great song when your on the edge of a relationship in terminal decline....it makes you jump!!...Well it made me jump..and I was right to do it.

[morgendark]

superb

[jomac1971]

Sevenandrising- Why not just go! maybe better for both if that's the way you feel.....

Maybe your other half would be better off without you.....Ever thought about that?

[Sevenandrising]

Thank you for your explanation. Could you also explain the word "metaphor"?

[Sevenandrising]

I love this song. It makes you fall in love and try to get away at the sametime. But it always makes you stay.

[NECTAR12345]

I used to sing my head off to this when I was about 6 with my step-dad loved it then and still remember the words now I'm 21!!!

Brings back very happy memories

re: another hot song about driving home from an abortion clinic:

Brick by Ben Folds Five.

[alanlaing]

must be the only song Ive ever heard of about driving home from an abortion clinic...

[keflavik1]

This is my number one Cd of all I got...I can't count how many times I have heard it.....So wonderful songs!

[themarkspo]

I agree i like this band alot its sad to see that they dont get the press they diserve.

[artan0000007]

First time I heard them was at MTV - nothing ever happen 1989. I've been in love with them since then...

Why cant they find any to distribute their new album?

[lilton25]

i love this song.i cry everytime i hear it.reminds me of ex.

[rickspsringfield]

I am going to get the comments going on, this is a great band!....common, there are enough clicks to comment!....

[rockerphelps]

"Former Owner" is an all-time great from them. Clever lyrics and killer guitar work.

[pith191]

i used to drive with the breaks on in video games like at boomers

[Bushboy65]

First song I heard by Del Amitri was Roll To Me, and all these other songs just make me love the band more. Too bad they broke up... well I think the lead singer and one other member still tours with new members. IDK

[imusbcraz]

Del Amitri never officially broke up...in fact there is a new album finished....just can't find anyone to distribute it.

[mkm5150]

amazing song...Megs loves it!

[rachelthehairguru]

It is a shame the band broke up ...BUT Justin Currie, the lead singer ,went solo and he still has a fabulous voice and amazing lyrics.

[tashybabe28]

he is cute :)

[starless1969]

fantastic song!

[1971waterman]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT SONGWRITING !! a shame this band doesn`t exist any longer !! Check out "Tell her" , "Nothing ever happens" or "Don`t come home too soon"...great stuff indeed...listen to them and u can forget all your problems for a sec.

[apatheticempathy]

Seriously,..what do you really think this song means ?

To me, it shows how we as males, settle

in a relationship, even if we are not really in love. Just because its easy and there.

This song is the sad realization of that fact . Can you see/hear that ?

[ZurabKhizanishvili]

You're so right. Almost had me in tears when I read your comment along with hearing the song.

Spot on.

[rollingdave]

This song is about a couple who've had an abortion. "Now the kid has gone", "trying to steer the conversation from, the thing we've done" He's saying no matter what happens he'll always be by her side. It's a classic song.

[apatheticempathy]

So wrong,.... the "kid" is his youth in the realationship.

"The things weve done" is a drug reference"

Its FAR from a "being by her side song".

Wake up ! Dave taint to bright.

[crouch3131]

Some one told me it was about a couple driving back after having an abortion..'driving through the long night trying to figure whos right and whos wrong, now the kids has gone' definitly backs it up, but listen to the whole song and it makes sense, very emotional when you look at it from that angle

[Slapbass13]

It means whatever you want it to.

[sydneybhoy]

JC has often says this in his interviews , I love this band so much

[182178]

Come on! Doc Walker has taken away all of the authenticity of the song! I think Del Amitri nailed this one! It's meant to sound raw! It's meant to sound a little less polished! It's meant to have a big key change! In case you didn't notice Justin Currie Wrote the song! Not that big fat American!

[DanWelshy86]

I know, the Americans will rape anything. It's getting silly now.

[lifefeedsonlifefeeds]

Good analysis! :) -PEACE BRO!

[kuroihikari]

old times music.. great song.

[lifefeedsonlifefeeds]

I like this version...it's raw and original...but, the band DOC WALKER sings it with way more emotion and paasion Sir Del...just a thought...

[driscoll126]

sorry i really disagree but we all have or own opinions

[lifefeedsonlifefeeds]

Did you listen to Doc Walker's version? Listen to it carefully and tell me you disagree...listen to their pitch.....

[redbaron447]

I too prefer the doc walker version, but this is the first time ive heard the original. i especially like how doc walker made the verse and the chorus destinctly different. the original percussion, the sounds at the beginning, are very original is such a ballad type song.

[driscoll126]

the songs as great as this should be knighted the words mean something a truly great song

[liverpoolwithpassion]

Lovely song and safe to say the vid wasn't made in Glasgow - i love a lot of singers but if I could sing like anyone I wish I could sing like him

[hirsty20vt]

Yep.....appropriate!!!! and sums up life at times

[peka1903]

i love the drums in this. fabulous song

[tubehead357]

CLASSIC - All you could ever want in a song!

[bongobolox]

i can't sing worth a fuck but if i could i would wish it sounded like this...fantastic song that you can't stick to a decade..timeless

[paulini2808]

great great great! wonderful song!!!!!!!

[AYEscotland]

Driving with the brakes on - sounds a bit like Scotland before Independence!

[stendec]

Beautiful song, I love it.

[NickSayle]

yet another of the great song writers

[DAH210774]

Outfuckinstanding...

[Love0Skid0Row]

love his voice n the song =)
