The Only Unforgivable Thing

Introduction: From an interview with the Web France, in September 2004, h said, "Well, that's just a song about carrying guilt, you know, dragging it around with you from the moment you drift into consciousness in the morning. You know, domestic trouble..."

'Beyond the rocket-burst among the burned-out fireworks In November'
A reference to Guy Fawkes Night, commemorated in Great Britain annually on 5th of November when effigies of Guy Fawkes are burned on bonfires and there are fireworks displays. Guy Fawkes' Night commemorates the failed 1605 attempt instigated by Robert Catesby to blow up the Houses of Parliament to attempt to ensure the ascension of a Catholic monarch to the throne. Fawkes was captured in the act of putting the torch to the gunpowder. He was tortured for the names of his co-conspirators then hung, drawn and quartered on 31st January the following year.
