    British sugar bureau
    When I told you what I
    And I

    And I wouldn't ask you to pretend
    That we were one
    And still another time
    Forget all the lies forgive me the wounds
    And all the world was used to love
    And yes we'd still be happy in another time
    But so what?

    So what?

  • Anonymous@ Ali. I also knew the song for a long time yet couldn't understand what it was about until much later in my life. The ending of the song stood out the most, was when I thought Robert said:"Please send a decorating set. I include a chicken poster but so what?"
  • Ali from Wine, Cawow....goodness!!! talk about something different. that meanings amazing. this song actually, makes me laugh every time i hear it. he SOUNDS a bit drunk, or else something a bit different, and with all of the background noises, its absolutly brilliant.
    i find the meaning to this song pretty inspiring, considering i grew up with this song (my older sister loved it) and because a lot of their songs, are actually really inspiring.

    if youve never heard it, i really encourage you to. the whole time youll be thinking, "what on earth...was robert diong when he wrote this." i know thats what i always thought. and now i know...he was drunk!
