Songfacts®:

  • Lyrically, Computers And Blues finds The Streets' Mike Skinner returning to the more direct tales he told on his earlier albums, and this song finds him spelling out a failing relationship. He told The Daily Record: "Some people thought I came up with all those parables on Everything Is Borrowed to protect myself emotionally. But I was trying to stretch my creativity to see if it could survive not talking about the present day. I can see now why that distanced people, so I've tried not to fall into the same trap this time."
