A sort of "let's do another jig" type thing. But it's OK. I know this is going to sound petty but that spoken bit, " what could possibly go wrong...." makes me wince. Always has. No idea why. Just does. I wonder if that was the producer's idea. That aside, this is alright. Immediately precedes 3 of the best tracks on the album (for me) so that doesn't do it any favours. It's like I'm waiting on it to finish so I can get to the slightly better stuff. Might have benefited from a live outing but it's no Hold You Back so comparisons would have been inevitable. 7/10 methinks

It's got something. Remember Rhino was very pissed off with how it turned out. Francis dismissed his ideas for the arrangements and took the song down a very different path Francis "I know there's stuff on there there the hardcore will hate"

I don’t mind this. The lyrics in the verses are a bit shit but I like the chorus a lot and the chords at the end of the chorus.

Can't remember, probs FTMO, was in an interview with Rhino, who also said he thought it could have been a big live song for the band if done right Not quite sure what I think. It's as flawed as it's great

Not an actual skipper. Not one I go looking for either, but it's more good than bad.

Francis dismissed his ideas for the arrangements and took the song down a very different path Francis "I know there's stuff on there there the hardcore will hate" And I think he was right. It had terrific potential, especially as a live number. Difficult to say how much influence Francis would have had on his own. It's credited to Andy and produced by Pip so maybe Rhino was just outnumbered.
