| Thought there would be more comments about this song? To me its a combination of his heroin addiction and how he uses it to escape pain and past loves... "my friend and me (him and the heroin) Looking through her red box of memories... Like Benjo says, love sticking iin her veins is the heroin he uses to replace what he has lost... He makes reference to 'my lord' a lot indicating he is lost and looks for help, not only with her, but with the struggle to control himself and his addiction.. I love this song and whether or not the above is correct its a lovely song to relate to unrequited love, but when you never fully give up hope! | |

| Some beautiful interpretations there guys. Despite being a huge Verve fan, I thought it was a simple love song, but you've all made me think again. :) x | |

| It is about a relationship with an ex. He calls her a freind because they have decided to be Friends. Seeing each other just rubs salt in wounds that will not heal, but alas they have decided to be "freinds" even if it kills them both. In the end he hopes that they will one day get back together because they truly love each other. | |

| Possibly about his heroin addiction? 'love seems to stick in her veins you know' Addicted to the drug, 'Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord I stop to say hello 'Cause I think you should know, by now' Hes taken a hit again. Just a guess 'Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord' There's heroin if he wants it, the lord almighty is telling him in his head why he shouldn't have it, | |

| okay this is exactly the same with me right the start is showing how close the two people are, then the chorus shows they like each other but there is someting getting in the way of something happening, maybe the friendship is so strong then the end shows that they both know they like each other, but it wont ever work like i said this is my situation, and this song is just beautiful viva richard ashcroft | |

| another example of richard ashcroft - a genuis, and this is one of his more simple examples of lyric writing. i agree, it's pretty much about a relationship with an ex. not sure why you'd ever do that, but okay. | |

| I think this is about a relationship with an ex, or even a on-again/off-again relationship. "Yes, there's love if you want it Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord" A sonnet is a terribly ordered piece of poetry (remember back to english class: ababcdcdefefgg), so there is love for this couple, though it might not be a one step forward, two steps back type of process. When we were dating, my wife and I had such a relationship and that's how I thought of this song at the time. Like much of Urban Hymns there is also considerable drug imagery. | |
