Written by Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs Produced by Saint Etienne Released September 1991 on Foxbase Alpha. Notes "An early attempt to do something symphonic - like Jimmy Webb, MacArthur Park, an end of album epic!" (Pete Wiggs, 2009). "We did it because it was a 'Poem on the Underground'. The melody came into my head in Stockholm while I was seeing The Stone Roses. It occurred to me about 3 years later I'd subconsciously nicked it from the guitar part to I Wanna Be Adored." (Bob Stanley, 2009).
