Songfacts®:

  • Vocalist Guy Garvey (from Drowned In Sound): "Not great advice if you want to get drunk. This was about the fact that you don't take advice if you're going to follow a career in music. It goes against everything your parents want for you, as it's such a shaky business."

  • Louou from Sarth MancBought the album with voucher from leaving do whist waiting for another band's album to hopefully materialise. It didn't then. But you never know what's around the corner. Can see influences back & forth.
