Additional Information

Song meaning as told by Jon: "It's about anyone that surprises me, 'cause I like surprises, and I like it when something out of the ordinary happens. The verses are about mundane, everyday life and then it says, 'when it comes to you I must admit I'm at a loss, I'm so confused'. It's about something interesting happening, something that you can't do yourself. It's weird because musically, it's really heavy in the verses then it really opens up, so that's how I wrote it - I wrote about what I hate and what I love". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics

Ain't ashamed to cry
Sometimes it feels just good enough
To feel something
Ain't afraid to try
Well I fail as good as anybody else
Lost interest in politics
When they talk it bores me to the brain
So this is modern living?
The more the choice
The more things stay the same

But, when it comes to you
I must admit I'm a loss
And so confused
And when it comes to you
I don't know how you do what you do
But I like it

Offer up the fantastic
I'm sick of all this plastic glamour
Become a social spastic
No need to walk through your front door no more
Market youth their uniform
If it's so wicked why don't you wear it too
I'm a mass media casualty
From taking advice from people that don't have a clue
