| First verse is basically just saying that the narrator gets frightened sometimes, followed by the chorus that that tells us he doesn't whine/cry about it. First two lines of the second verse are a play on "don't bite the hand that feeds you." The narrator is saying that in this world you've got to thank the people that help you. So he's making it clear that people need help to get through things in their life, and he's not above that, he just isn't going to let it bring him down for very long and he's not going to cry about it. The next lines are saying that it isn't hard to understand just like it isn't hard to understand that everything is "always coming down" through gravity and wear and tear, nothing lasts forever or that (in the narrator's opinion) it isn't hard to understand that Jesus never came. The last two lines of the second verse are talking about the chorus and about how predictable it is that the chorus would return at that point. I mean, "What did you expect to find?" The last verse just explains that, with time, everything will be alright, and, though sometimes times are painful, the narrator refuses to break down, | |

| same,I heard the COF cover first and I had to check on the original.It was tha first time I ever listened to sisters of mercy (murder me) , and I felt amazed!COF's version is of course heavier but it lacks so much in background guitars..In the original the amazing vocals of Andrew Eldritch overwhelm you.... | |
