Anyone else love this track?

I keep saying to dh that I think it's about a suicide attempt and he disagrees. Anyone else think it's about a suicide attempt, maybe fictional of course.

Love it it's a beautiful song, love the whole album and yes agree it does sound like it might be about an overdose.

"think I love you still but there may be pills at work"

oh yeah, its either about attempting suicide through an overdose, not succeeding, waking up maybe a last attempt of getting someone she cares about to take notice of her?

or drug taking, overdosing and ending up in a & e

Thanks for the confirmation. My dh is weird.

He has a HUGE Goldfrapp crush at the moment, it's quite sweet, he says things like 'She's quite kooky isn't she' in a vile way and I've told him to keep his festerings to himself!

How much must Madonna envy La Goldfrapp for being so original?

Also that swelling vocal bit in the first track, does it remind you (you may not be old enough) of the 10cc track 'I'm not In Love'? It reminds me of that a bit.

Deffo old enough to remembre 10cc and yes, I know what you mean.

The video is amazing too

They are my favourite music ever, especially live.

ipenamegirl, I have a huge goldfrapp crush and I am heterosexual, married with two children, she is hottter than hell.

DirtySexyMummy · 11/06/2008 14:31

'How did I get to accident emergency, all I wanted was you to take me out high'

Its about suicide.

ipanemagirl · 11/06/2008 14:48

LOL Wenchconnection!! Where did you see her/them live (envy envy envy) I've only recently begun my Goldfrapp crush which is more under control than dh's ("Kooky".......)
She is hot.

But what I really meant to ask discreetly dya think it's TRUE about the suicide attempt or imagined? She gives almost nothing away in her interviews but she is almost certainly 42 according to one article I read. She obfuscates about her age which is fair enough. Imagine wearing hotpants at 42, I am in Awe of her.

I adore the video with the leafmen. It reminded me a bit of Mr Susan in the Boosh who I adore with his mirror balls.

ah a boosh and goldfrapp fan! We are friends already lol.

I have seen them on the other stage at Glastonbury, at Brixton academy and a secret gig in Berlin around 4 years ago.
