It doesn't help that Nicky saying they only chose it as a single because the title reminded them of Blur's The Universal and similar song names has always irked me.
The Stealth Sonic Orchestra remix of it is utterly beautiful though.

The song is of its time. It's very much of that post-britpop late 90s melancholic vain.
I would never go out of my way to listen to it, but it has a very cool chord structure and the solo is fantastic. The Jools Holland version is worth a listen to now and again.
