| i think the "he's got your name, he's got your number" is more about the devil (anyone seen Blood Brothers? haha) I'm not too sure about the date rape theme, i think there'd be a bigger deal about it. I reckon it's just about some guy who's feeling really down and worthless /alcoholic/ loser. :) | |

| I looooove this song. Mainly for the horns and just the feel of the music and that line that everyone else already mentioned so I won't bother to repeat. Interesting take on the date rape idea-- never thought of it that way before, but it seems to make sense... | |

| I think this song is about someone who has hit rock bottom, they cant go any lower and are "already dead". They stopped beliving in themselves also. And I think the Satan having the name and number think is right madcaddie0 and hes saying if you fuck up one more time, your done for. | |

| A complex song by my favorite Ska band, the lyrics start off witha descritption closer to a Ruphalized date rape that ends with the descimation of personal defenses because of love. I starting liking this song because of the sound and the last line, "it's hard to die when you're already dead." The song rememinds me of those times when I feel like my life is falling down. | |

| i like this one because it's so obvious............"it's hard to die when you're already dead" it just sounds good when you feel like everyone looks way too close at things..........over analyzation | |
