I believe Dave wrote it in frustration after he got turned down for the 3rd time that he asked his girlfriend to marry him........it is kind of a F#!% You song.

Ah, Julia Grey


He was Dave's serious girlfriend in the late 80s to early 90s. He proposed to her 3 times, and was turned down 3 times. Known songs about her:

After Her (which became Satellite, not about Julia)
Recently (this one is iffy, though)
I'll Back You Up
Lover Lay Down
Pay For What You Get (only the chorus)
Halloween
#40 (another iffy one)
Hold Me Up/Down (as said from antsmarching.org)
Kind Intentions
Yes, I am in a box

for gods sakes they were together for 8 years! i mean how perfect is the "are you still satisfied with fucking?" line? its exactly what he was feeling after breaking up with an 8year relationship because he knew it was never gonna go anywhere.

I think the music in it is amazing! It's a shame the lyrics aren't better.
