God i love Jack Steadman's voice. Indie27 on July 18, Link. General Comment Its so hard to find the silent type, Someone shy who won't spread the hype, You're so cold and you're in this crowd, I am on my way now, - This is genius.
And I don't think it's about two people competing for one. It's about two people competing against themselves: neither one having the "guts" to cross the room, having made eye contact and fallen in love in an instant. My Interpretation I think that this song is actually just about 2 people, the guy and the girl. The first verse seems to me to be more of a conversation between two sides of a guy's personality, or more likely; who he is, and who he thinks he needs to be to impress the girl.

Hindu was the Persian name of the people who inhabited that land. In Sanskrit, it has the same origin as Sindhu. It referred to the area around the Indus hence Sindh or the entire area east of the river a fairly good fit then with modern-day India. Indians themselves would use this word only when Persian-speaking Turks established multiple sultanates in the subcontinent, starting with the Mamluk Sultanate in Delhi in AD. This is also why, when the British encountered spoken Hindi-Urdu, they took to calling it Hindustani in much the same way as Bengali was the British name for the language spoken by people in Bengal.
As the modern concept of nationalism took root during the British Raj, the name Hindustan started being used as a pars pro toto for the Indian subcontinent.
This is not uncommon. Here it broke into the Calcutta and Bombay branches, each nearly a thousand miles in length. They wanted Papa and Mamma, gone to Bombay beyond the seas, and their grief while it lasted was without remedy.
Even Judy's appeals to "try and remember about Bombay " failed to quicken him. Yes, he knew they were to call at Bombay , which was a great harbour from which ships were frequently returning to England. City in western India just off the coast of the Arabian Sea.
