I've had it with "You've Had It with You"

Two questions:

1. What are all the things he's had it with, sung by background vocals at the end of all the repeated "You've had it with yer" lines?

2. Are U.K. pop stars known for fading especially fast, or did he have someone specific in mind?

Cut and pasted from the lyrics page:


You've Had it With You

I had it with the friend who uses me
To open doors like I was a skeleton key
I had it with everyone, had it with anyone I ever knew
You've had it with you
You need someone to fall in love, need someone to fall in love
Any anyone will do
You've had it with you

Like Catherine the Great underneath a big horse
Your sexual preference is me of course
I get away with murder and I promise not to hurt her
If I have to shoot
<repeat>

Had it with you
Had it with your shoes..

Had it with you baby and your star-cheap car
I'm fading faster than a UK pop star
I've had it with everyone, everyone I ever knew well I do
<repeat >
[You had it with your neighbors, had it with your clothes
You had it with your records,
You had it with your friend, had it with your shoes,
You had it, goddammit! You've had it with you!

And you've had it with me too...

Thanks Mr. Blasty. I was being white and lazy.

Now about these UK pop stars ...

what's funny is that i used to think that the "uk pop star" was "gay pop star" for a long time.

i thought that was a little out of character for paul...

I always thought the lyric goes like this:

"Like Catherine the Great underneath the big horse,
The sexual reference is to me of course."

You know, so we think the singer's hung like a, well, horse.

I always thought the same thing, sharky. I pictures him winking when singing it like the great smart ass he is.

Oh my god. Worse lyrics than "eyes like two hubcaps"!
