Well it has one of the best drumming heh. Anyway, for me This is about someone who is playing tricks on another person and thinks that the person dosent notice it. But all the time that person really know what he/ she was doing. The tricks Im saying is like cheating, or going with other guys. I can see for miles means that he knows what she's been doing all the time even though it's supposed to be a secret or private thing. Yeah I know, I can't really explain what Im thinking but that's my interpretation.

I doubt it was really about anything. My reasoning is this: Pete has actually said that he worked extremely hard on getting each part of the song just right, the song is completely commerccial. So I think he just wrote lyrics that sounded good.
