Songfacts®:

  • Noel Gallagher described this song in the May 2005 Q Magazine: "One of mine with a weird rhythm that's a bit Shack-doing-Love. The idea came to me standing in a queue in a supermarket in the West End. All I wanted was a packet of Rizla." (Rizla is a brand of papers used to roll cigarettes.) >>>
