Songfacts®:

  • Scott Hutchison sings here of growing up in the small Scottish town of Selkirk, where nothing much happened.
  • Frightened Rabbit attempted to channel Manchester band Elbow when writing this song. Hutchinson told Gigwise: "I actually went so far as to imagine (Elbow singer) Guy Garvey's voice singing the words whilst I was writing the lyrics. They sounded a lot better in a Manc accent than they do in my Borders brogue."
