Written by the Gnomes
A sharp blast of Australian throwback power-pop, this song races along like a Merseybeat rocker, all crisp drumming and a wall of twin guitars. It's a breakup song, and the title, slightly misleading, actually comes from the one doing the leaving, not the narrator describing himself. "What you're trying to say / Is I'm not the one / So what you're trying to say / Is that we're done." Despite the sad situation it describes, the song buzzes with early Beatles energy, with an ebullient and possibly misplaced "oh yeah!" after the last chorus. Maybe the Gnomes are too sad to sulk.
