This song is very good musically but yes lyrically just doesnt quite make it.
Grant wrote it as a tongue in cheek sort of song on Feeders situation when they were struggling to get noticed and seeing other bands like Skunk Anansie, Smashing Pumpkins just become so elevated in their music.
Tangerine was obviously his way of explaining how he saw the band maybe compared to the other bands they were musically genered too. They were the tangerine, the fruit turning green, the off fruit amongst the lot.Possibly?
