Obviously speaks to the derivative tradition of pop music. A tradition that would be very much at the centre of Britpop.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the first Britpop single featured Damon's best lyrics yet. A major step forward from some of the stuff he wrote on LEISURE. The entire band had a new maturity at that point, I think. They'd found their direction.
