About This Track

When he played this live once, Damien explained how this song started out:
He was in a bar and had this really deep conversation with this girl. He really felt they connected, but at the end of the night she told him that her husband was waiting for her. To quote Damien “A bitter and drunk song writer came home after that and put this song together”.

    This is the greatest song, and defines and marks the time in my life I was most depressed.

    it would have been so much better if he had said ' i eat when I can' instead of 'i eat from a can'.. just saying :)

    So appropriate, with a taste of hurtful reality.

    I've always seen this song as the soundtrack of my life, always the second best... or nothing at all. And now every single word of the song is about to become too true to bear. He's getting married in 3 weeks and I'm supposed to be sitting there watching them exchange their vows, keeping my bloody mouth shut as I've done for years and what am I darling?! I really should have kissed you when we were running in the Brighton rain...
