Single info:
Writing much looser material in 1996 than ever before, Damon brought to the "Blur" sessions the bare bones of this would-be terrace chant. It was given a slight Black Grape feel (a favourite band of Blur at the time), although Graham, who doesn't much like the song, played his part in one take and refused to add anything else. Musically and lyrically symptomatic of Damon's new dress style: a cross between hip hop and American college band chic.
