Another Girl's Name
Farewell to Love: Ocean Colour Scene's Tale of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Go take your bags away
Expressing a desire for someone to leave and take their belongings.
Get out of my home
Requesting the person to leave the speaker's home.
Get out of my life
Asking the person to exit the speaker's life entirely.
I don't want you hanging round
Declaring a lack of interest in the person being around.
And I don't want you to be my wife
Rejecting the idea of a marital relationship with the person.
When I go to the cafe
Describing a routine visit to a cafe.
I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
Choosing a seat facing a mirror, possibly symbolizing self-reflection.
I look at my face today
Examining the speaker's own appearance on that day.
And I look such a wreck today
Feeling and looking disheveled or distressed.
I knew you well for five minutes and one day
Reflecting on a brief acquaintance lasting five minutes and one day.
O-oh no way, Jose
Expressing disbelief or rejection of the possibility.
I don't ??? ugly views
Unclear lyrics, unable to provide a precise meaning.
And I'm not interested in family muse
Rejecting unattractive perspectives or viewpoints.
And ?? is boring and conversation pours
Expressing disinterest in family-related matters and boring conversations.
Even when we're in bed
Suggesting a desire to change or influence the partner's thoughts.
I wanna rearrange your head
Expressing a desire to rearrange the partner's mindset.
Put down the covers
Inviting the partner to be vulnerable and open.
And get you up against the wall
Expressing a desire for intimacy and a change in the relationship dynamic.
Shoot good babe
A playful encouragement or command related to intimacy.
Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
Recalling a brief acquaintance from earlier.
O-oh no way, Jose
Reiterating disbelief or rejection of the past connection.
You follow where it's going
Observing the partner's actions or decisions.
Can't you see I was breaking
Noticing the partner's emotional state and vulnerability.
How'd you know the love making wasn't only faking
Questioning the authenticity of past intimacy.
You get out of my home
Reiterating the need for the person to leave the speaker's home.
And you get out of my life
Emphasizing the request to exit the speaker's life.
You didn't hang around much girl
Noting the brief duration of the person's presence in the speaker's life.
'Cause now you're someone else's wife
Indicating that the person has moved on to marry someone else.
I go to the cafe
Repeating the routine visit to the cafe.
And I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
Choosing the same reflective seat in the cafe.
Well I look at my face today
Observing a positive change in the speaker's appearance.
And I look so good today
Feeling confident or attractive on that day.
Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
Reflecting again on the brief acquaintance from the past.
O-oh no way, oh no way, oh no way, Jose
Reiterating disbelief or rejection of the past connection emphatically.
You're just another girls names
Labeling the person as just another girl's name, possibly implying insignificance.
O-oh you're just another girls name (X3)
Repeating the notion that the person is just another girl's name.
