"It’s the one uplifting song on the album - slap James’ electric guitar on that and you could have had a more traditional Manics song. We were obsessed with 70s Elvis at the time - the horns are from our Mums and Dads' record collection, ‘Suspicious Minds’, ‘I Just Can’t Help Believing’- it gives me a lift every time I hear it. Just that celebration, the idea that we’re sick of the opposing forces of science and religion trying to prove truth. We just wanted to wallow in the magic of how something you see, a song, how certain things work, how certain individuals are unexplainable, a good haircut, the way a drummer will react to a guitar, the way a footballer will be truly stunning without even trying - science or religion just cannot explain certain things."
