The Greatest Hits (2000)
In Demand
We were together
I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last...
[Chorus:]
But now I've got someone who cares for me
Yeah, he wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
And you said "I was the best you've ever had"
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you should have held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
Don't ever think you saw the best of me
There's a side you'll never know
'Cause love and loving are two different things
Set your sights far too low
[Chorus]
You're thinking of the way you should have held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
It's only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
Then my dreams just move along
You've lost the race by miles
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you should have held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
But now I'm in demand
You see me in demand
And now I'm in demand.

This song is a swipe by its protagonist at a former lover who once dated and then dumped her, but has made a concerted effort to win her back after she has found both fame and the love of another - now that she is "in demand". The singer makes it clear that she does not trust the ex's motives, thinking that he only wants her back because he is jealous now that she is not his. The single was accompanied by a music video which starred Alan Rickman alongside Spiteri.
