the way i interpret this song is that its a sarcastic song in the way of he's saying he's ok about the situation when he's actually not but he's putting on a face to them showing that he is and i can really relate to this. in other words he'll keep taking all the crap and still wont show it. it's almost like he's saying that he wont give them the satisfaction in them knowing it all gets to him. i might be wrong but thats how i interpret it.
I think Kelly has just summed up most relationships in this particular track.....I think we can all apply at least one line of this track to every relationship we´ve been in. Kelly just has the most amazing gift of being able to put it into words. Thank you so much, Mr.Jones xxx
This is a quality version of this song, one of his best songs! Seen Stereophonics Live at Rock am Park festival in Germany andd they were awesome! 2nd best to Metallica. Go on Kelly, cool as fuck, proper rock'n'roller unlike rubbish bands like the killers that have toss lyrics. The phonics are amazing
@curry456 they're of a dvd called Stereophonics-Language.Sex.Violence.Other? it was brought out in 2006 after the release of the album, it has a making of the album, this gig and 4 video's.
I never really liked music, until I listened to Performance and Cocktails. I still don't like music, but I love the Phonics and all their tunes - they are, afterall, far above the other shit called "music".
Jus OMG...can this God lyk creature get ne betr or sexier...best band evr, people need to listen to these guys...allow the fukin metro station n shitty jonas brothers...Kelly Jones has a 100 tyms more talent than all ov them put togthr
this guy's talent immense...and sings like a god...he looks fuckin awesome and he is a brilliant songwriter...and plays a guitar aswell...i mean come on ;-))))) how good does it have to get????!!!! love the stereophonics
haha i see your comments all the time on stereophonics vids =] plus dont you post some vids. but haha your obv a great Stereophonics fan! Went to the Newcastle gig and i loved it
I doubt it's Javier singing the backing vocals, look at 3.45, you can see him and I can't see him close to the mic singing. It might be a backing song playing, or the lyrics recorded on the keyboards I guess
well i think he's feeling the loss of someone he loved and this is the general feeling of hopelessness and dispair that follows. and pretending he's alright so he doesn't show any weakness/let whoever in. and that he will sarcifice things because he cares but the things that he gives to them aren't what matters so now all he can give is "wearing a smile" etcc. so he's alright, but nothing more. but who knows? he could mean anything
It shows his vain attempts at being selfless - and it not being reciprocated...
Well - that's how I see it...
With heartfelt apathy in the intonation, by the bucketload...
Wonder what poor ex deserved this? either which way - it probably is how many people feel about some of their ex's but just cant get it out quite so subtly ;)
They were fab in concert - this being one of the highlights for me ;)
I think that the song is about show someone all the good things that you do... so... I'm alright... so you go but you'll come back... the phonics rules!!!
I believe he's telling everything a boy'd fucking do for a girl But the girl perhaps don't show any recognition and ignores it and so the boy's saddly say ironically that he's alright but he's dying inside
i think its about him saying he will make all these sacrifices like 'i'll wear another smile for you, that way you know im fine' for a girl, but its not truly who he is.. especially the last bit it sounds like hes talking about the give and take in a relationship.. but from the general tone of the song it sounds like the girl doesnt appreciate the effort he puts in
not my favorite song, but still another amazing live song next to maybe tommorow and superman. love the emotion he throws into the end with the yelling.
Champagne supernova i luv your videos !!! the live from dakota ones are brill !! hav u got traffic in those videos you have with the bit at the start if u no what i meen ?? lol

The ex is probably the same on who he wrote, Rainbows and pots of gold and you stole my money honey.
Infact most of this album is about him and that relationship, i heard him say it on an interveiw.
