Guy spoke once on XFM London about how the songs was about a new girlfriend and his feelings after he'd left her house one morning. They'd gone out the night before (And we took the town to town last night) and gone back to her house. He'd left in the morning to leave her sleeping and the song is how he felt on the journy home. The line "We kissed like we invented it" he said is a tribute to his sister who says the line about her daughter, Guy's neice. Apprently the teenager got a new boyfriend who she spent all the time kissing and her mother coined the phrase to Guy one night. Beautiful song. |

The mumblings at the end of the song is one of the band's mate who they had got into the studio to beatbox to a click track. He's heard asking what the click track is and how he won't be able to beatbox whilst listening to that. I read somewhere that they left it in to add some humour to the album and to curb the claims that they were miserablists. |
