Kate Nash - Don't you want to share the guilt? (with Lyrics)

LYRICS:
Barbecue food is good.
You invite me out to eat it, I should go but I'm feeling kind of nervous
And not quite myself
So I'm running late on purpose
And I know this wont help
How things have become between us
But if I go you'll give me hell
And that I dont know how to fix it
Is making me unwell.. well

I arrive at your house
But you've just got up
And you are wearing a towel
And your eyes look dark
I help to dry your body
And I see your cut
So I give you a plaster
And we cover it up
I say "Have you been crying?"
And you say "Shut Up!"
So we sit in the garden
And touch the grass with our hands

The sun is going down now
And it's been okay
You tell me all the things you did
While I was away
And this worries me somewhat

You say you're fine
Listen..Can you hear it?
Does it speak?
Will I feel it?
Will it hurt?
Am I near it?
I dont know..

I dont know how more people havent got mental health problems
Thinking is one of those stressful things I've ever come across
And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy
I think I should try and read more books
And learn some new words
My sister used to read the dictionary
I'm going to start with that
I'd like to travel
I want to see India and the pyramids
A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France
I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me
But I love swimming, I'm good at it
And when I swim I think about numbers
And count the laps
When I was younger I saw a house burn down
And I walked past it everyday for the next six years
Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous
I wondered if squatters lived there
I'm still not sure but I know there were never any parties cuz it was shit
After a while the council got round to tidying the town
Making it less offensive here and there
They said it was an eyesore so they tore it down
Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crabby graffiti and the word "Cunt" written on it in giant letters
And now I walk past that
I like sitting in the park
And I like walking through it
I like taking my dogs there
And friends, and I like being alone
I like flowers and simplicity
I like compassion and thoughtful gifts
I like being able to shout
But I wish I could be quiet
When I'm quiet people think I'm sad
And usually I am
Sometimes when I'm at a busy train station
Somewhere big with the noisy trains like Kings Cross
I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out because I've got something to say
Don't you want to share the guilt?
Don't think, just try and sleep ..

The monologue that follows the first part of the song (which reminds me of a broken relationship with two people not knowing how to get it right again or how to end it) makes me think of the sort of rambling that goes through your mind when you fantasize about what life can be like if you get past this dead- end situation , trying to figure out who you are on your own.

[UrMumLovesElectro]

right now this songs has made me feeel much better :L

@iluvcatzandbunniez Some people feel guilty about everything and bear the burdens of everyone around them. The first half of this song shows how Kate has been reluctant to spend time with this person because he's so sad- she doesn't want to deal with the guilt of his sadness. When she gets to the 2nd half of the song, she's talking more about what makes her happy. She wishes she could focus on just these things instead of the pains of others that make her feel guilty. Just my two cents. Love it!

[iluvcatzandbunniez]

So what do you guys think this song is about? I like to hear other peoples interpretations.

You're ugly and and your voice sucks. I think you suck.
