I love this song. It brings a tear to my eye. I think it's about the singer's repressed love for a girl, who doesn't love him in return. He's tried everything, but he can't win her over. It's tremedously sad. Someone give this song an oscar. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm ripping Ice-Dive. It's about gambling. Nothing else. Idiot.

It's about Saddam Hussein. It's George Bush's wish "the only card I need is the ace of spades".

i saw some thing about one of there albums on tv, and philthy phil (in the band, for all you newbies) said it had no deeper meaning. That doesn't mean they couldn't have accidentally given it meaning though....
