Dig My Mood, 1998
Written by Nick Lowe
The narrator of this song has an occupation, a vocation, maybe an obsession. He goes around the world, goes up on stage, and tells people about his bad love affair. "And though I do it nightly / It never is the same / For it's a never ending story / Of jealousy and blame." This is a man whose past haunts him, weighs heavy on him. The title is a deliberate misnomer. It isn't lack of love that's done this to him, it's perfidy. But doesn't all betrayal stem from lack of love? The song has a cool, relaxed vibe with understated vocals that belie the hurt in the words.
