| cant you stop trying to tell every song is about relationship or drugs. there are songs which are about none of them.it is quiet obvious this song is not about relationships.it is about the life in which we try to live maybe we are wining today but it is not fair and we are unforgiven then. | |

| well, Nicky wrote the lyrics so I doubt it's about a relationship James was in. I think its about the way modern society depresses the adult and makes them long for their youth - all the stay young adverts and stuff. I think Nicky is trying to say thats something that developed with his generation - "the gap our parents never had." The chorus in particular evokes a feeling that true happiness is behind them "in the beginning...when our smiles were genuine." This was always a big issue for the Manics. Nicky said that all four of them had a "blissful childhood" and Richey once said "my life was perfect up until I was 10." Nicky said that TIMTTMY was the first ever "Welsh folk album" but this is probably the song on that album with the least Welsh identity. Especially in the line "the world is full of refugees, just like you and just like me." Beautiful song. | |
