To me this encapsulates and expresses perfectly the ecstatic and very rare feeling you experience when you meet someone you completely click with.
These lines...
Why do you think I let you get away
With the things you say to me?
○
No one I ever knew
Or have spoken to resembles you
○
They look at you and I
And envy makes them cry
○
You and I just smile
Because we're thinking the same lines
○
You're not right in the head
And nor am I
And this is why
This is why I like you
...are brilliant.
Could it be I like you?
It's so shameful of me / I like you
- only Morrissey...
As others have stated, it's so rare to hear a song about liking someone. Maybe that's part of the reason why this feels so real and authentic to me.
The 'magistrates' and 'forces of containment' parts are also interesting and add a certain 'us against the world' aspect.
The song feels like it must have been written about a particular person, and given the time I wonder if it was Tina.
