Songfacts®:

  • This is the oldest track on Shame's debut album, Songs Of Praise. It finds a defiant, yellow teethed Charlie Steen proclaiming: "I ain't much to look at, and I ain't much to hear." He explained to Billboard magazine: "That song was basically me turning insecurity into strength. And almost sort of maybe creating this sort of on-stage persona as well, where I don't care what anyone thinks, because in this one moment, in this one song, you have a moment of feeling untouchable."
