What Lack Of Love Has Done - Nick Lowe

What Lack Of Love Has Done - Nick Lowe
2:50
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.
