Karaoke Korner : Give and take
Joss Stone clearly isn�t shy of singing about the big issues. This
song is actually about drug abuse destroying a relationship. In the
song, we hear that Joss�s ex-boyfriend (we can assume) is wasted, which
can mean strongly affected by alcohol or drugs; that he needs a fix,
which can mean something that you need frequently, especially an illegal
drug; and that her boyfriend is �sniffing on snow� � snow is street
slang for cocaine.
