Songfacts®:

  • This was the first song from a Blur album that featured guitarist Graham Coxon as a main vocalist. It's the only Blur song that was written and performed by just one member of the band (Coxon).
  • Coxon, at the time, not too confident with his vocal abilities, was so shy that he felt better by singing and playing the song under a table in the studio. >>
