it reminds me of being lost in club culture and drugs and alcohol.....and gorgetting who you really are. all thats left is a kind of drugged shell. its like wanting to go back to your former self, to "dull the pain"- to come home.

sweet prince, the lines "stuck between the do or die" means that yoo have to choices do or die.. it means you are forced to do things and if you dont do it then you die... good look with your english lol

I've read that this isn't Brian's favourite song back when Black Market Music came out, I'm not sure about now though. This song talks about the longing for a home for Brian. He really never had one as a child and now he doesn't really have one as a performer because of the travelling. He is also fighting for a friend who is using drugs. He is wanting for his friend to become what they used to be and how the person's life has fallen to pieces.

Brian was always dragged around the world by his father..I think it may have been about feeling lost. The drug/alcohol culture soudns good too..like he's got the feeling of growing up but has the attachment to home, as we all know Brian is fond and connected with his mother.

Think this may be my favourite song, ever. Love the line: Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it.
