how do you know?

I saw that Nicky said that James wrote it hungover after a stag do in tenby, but wasn't sure if that was just referring to just the music.

Interesting. It's one of my favourites. My least favourites are some kind of nothingness (some of the vocals stick in my head, but when I listen to it it annoys me) and the future has been here forever.

The song is rubbish, the only thing that saves it from being the worst Manics song ever is the middle 8, which is actually decent - but that stupid, horrible riff comes in right at the end of it to spoil it.
