its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
This heart`s up for sale
Yeah, this heart`s on the stand
Mix and match and melt in my mouth
Nothing ever goes quite as planned
You fly north and I`ll sail south
So redevelop product
Redesign this package
Still refuse to reach in your pocket
Everything is temporary written on that sand
Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
Love has no guarantee
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Promise me eternity
(Guess I`ll fade away)
Even with a pedigree
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Love has no guarantee
That heart`s on display, yes, that heart`s off the rails
A ship in the harbour with wind in its sails
Chain up love inside the chain-store girl
Chain up love and exchange it
Is Monsieur a connoisseur or just short-changed?
Off the rack or custom-fit it all seems the same
Look but don`t touch in paradise
Don`t let them catch you damaging the merchandise
Love has no guarantee
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Promise me eternity
(Guess I`ll fade away)
Even with a pedigree
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Love has no guarantee
I get sales talk from sales assistants
When all I want to do girl, is lower your resistance
Everything is temporary, written in the sand
Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
Love has no guarantee
Brings out the woman in me
Even with a pedigree
Love has no guarantee
No chance of subtlety
No promise of eternity
Even with a pedigree
Love has no guarantee
Yeah, this heart`s on the stand
Mix and match and melt in my mouth
Nothing ever goes quite as planned
You fly north and I`ll sail south
So redevelop product
Redesign this package
Still refuse to reach in your pocket
Everything is temporary written on that sand
Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand
Love has no guarantee
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Promise me eternity
(Guess I`ll fade away)
Even with a pedigree
(Yes I`m date stamped)
Love has no guarantee
That heart`s on display, yes, that heart`s off the rails
A ship in the harbour with wind in its sails

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
what this song is trying to say is: He is afraid to get his heart broken, so he trying to play it safe. If he does'nt have to date anyone, he can't get his heart broken!!! Makes sense to me, I am date stamped too...
I love this tune it's one of my ABC favourites.
I think the following sums it up for me:
"I get sales talk from sales assistants When all I want to do girl, is lower your resistance Everything is temporary, written in the sand Looking for the girl that meets supply with demand"
He's looking for a Fuck Buddy, but all the girls he meets want more. Hence he's "date Stamped".
