Lyrics
Goodbye rose-tinted
Farewell to a nostalgic perspective
Pullover cloudy sky
Transition from a cheerful or optimistic outlook to a gloomy one
Let blue bottles touch those lips
Letting alcoholic drinks touch the lips associated with romanticizing the past
Goodbye rose-tinted
Reiteration of departing from a romanticized view
I'll get into Dodie and Die
Reference to a character named Dodie, possibly linked to escapism or a self-destructive behavior
Dressing like Ho Chi Minh
Dressing akin to Ho Chi Minh, potentially indicating an unconventional or rebellious appearance
'Cause I know, you know the dark of a moonless sky
Acknowledging mutual understanding of the darkness or mysteries within a relationship
And why halos start to fuzz
Understanding the beginning of a loss of purity or innocence
It's the terror of Lambeth love
Expressing the fear or anxiety associated with love in the Lambeth area
It's the terror of Lambeth love
Reiteration of the fearful nature of love in Lambeth
Goodbye rose-tinted
Repeating the departure from a rosy, idealized viewpoint
Maybe I'm shy?
Questioning one's own demeanor—possibly introversion or reticence
Maybe I don't give a shit?
Contemplation of apathy or a carefree attitude
Maybe I'm high?
Pondering potential intoxication or altered mental state
Three runs
Reference to specific actions or events, possibly implying a routine or pattern
A can of beer
Symbolic reference to casual indulgence in alcohol
A lad of manners
Someone with manners but lacking knowledge or experience in a particular area
Never taught the wanker how to climb in her tights as yet
Humorous depiction of incompetence in an intimate scenario
Flies stick to shit
Use of a metaphor to illustrate an unpleasant situation
Then I watched your halo start to fuzz
Observing the degradation of someone's purity or innocence
(Trains go flashing by)
Simultaneous occurrence of trains and the passage of time, possibly emphasizing life's rapid pace
And the world went crashing by
Acknowledgment of a chaotic or fast-moving world
In the terror of Lambeth love
Reiteration of the fear or apprehension associated with love in Lambeth
In the terror of Lambeth love
Reaffirmation of the unsettling nature of love in Lambeth
In the terror of Lambeth love
Continued emphasis on the distressing aspects of love in Lambeth
In the terror of Lambeth love
Repetition to highlight the intense fear or distress caused by Lambeth love
In the terror of Lambeth love
Reiteration of the overwhelming terror associated with love in Lambeth
In the terror of Lambeth love
Emphasis on the fear and distress caused by Lambeth love, a repeated theme throughout the song
