Paddy McAloon on the song:
"'Technique' is absolutely spot on! It has technique, structure within it you see! It's about a guy who wants to work at Jodrell Bank, a stargazer who knows he probably never will. Anyway, this chap realizes he has more passion than anyone who actually works at Jodrell Bank and that makes him more powerful than anyone of them put together (sic)." - 'The Militia Have Arrived,' Kitchenware promo flier, 1984
"I wrote songs like 'Technique' (when I was young). I wasn't trying to be smart, I was trying to draw attention to the fact that all songs are artificial. The middle eight is the most artificial construction you're gonna get. You don't naturally write middle-eights. I wanted to draw attention to the fact that, if you're an intelligent person, your emotions should not be automatically consigned to the region of the heart. Heart versus the head. I could see that at 19, and I wasn't a particularly smart 19-year old." - NME, May 4, 1985
