In the chorus, Frischmann adds that she would like him to be truthful with her. It could be anything, however. She leaves the lyric open-ended. "Is there something you lack...I really want you to/Oh oh oh ouah oh ah/I really want you to/Oh oh oh ouah oh ah." \
The amazing "Stutter" features some great lyrics ("Is there something you lack/when I'm flat on my back...Am I on the wrong train, love/And will I have to tie you to the tracks" ) and stolid vocals. Frischmann is fed up and needs some answers. The only time she really talks to him is when he's intoxicated. For her, it's a game she feels she has to delve deeper into and confront.

Interesting. I've always thought of the song as being an update and more elegant Too Drunk To Fuck - he's had too much to drink, can't get it up; "had too much wine to stumble up my street..."

Actually, Simon your p.o.v is the correct one. On a fan site I went to, Justine Frishcmann was quoted saying "drunken boyfriends."
I like your p.o.v. better. It makes a lot more sense.
