I think this song more than any other shows off Weller's skill as a songwriter. The passage: 'And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry,
I'm on my way home to my wife.
She'll be lining up the cutlery,
You know she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"' portays a man's love for his wife better than an endless stream of 'ooh, I love you baby, ooh's.
