  I did find like the lyrics for it like not long ago like scribbled on like a piece of paper, it was quite funny
  Like find like the -
  Oh yea, like loads, yeah they were all sort of stuff about like cigarettes and stuff, I dont know but erm
  No no no, they were all, there were some stinkers in there
  Arguably there still is but erm
  They, erm, it was... cant remember, I can remember recording it like the first time we did it
  Well cause we did it with this guy Alan Smyth in Sheffield, that we did like a lot, like all his first sort of recordings with
  And there was this version of it, and then when we started like, we started this first record with
  Like when we were beginning to sort of proper make the record,
  We started with James Ford and this guy Mike Crossey, in Liverpool
  And we had like a week and wed been on tour and we play- we recorded like ten songs in a week or somet
  And we were like this is it! weve gon- done his album
  Yknow
  Fucking put it out tomorrow please, yesterday if you can
  And erm
  But everything was kinda recorded at like, did it on tape and played everything at like 300 miles an hour
  And it were like, it kinda, bit too like live or something I dont know
  And at that point, it was suggested to us that perhaps wed like try a different avenue so then we went back with this producer called Jim Abbiss
  And went to a studio in Lincoln
  And er, and sorta, yknow sorta, recording...
  But yknow going through the songs and like listening to the demos
  And sorta tryna, you know, pick the best bits about and whatever
  Cause everyone were kinda really into these demos of it
  So we sorta wanted to get a bit of that but kinda like a better recording of it
  It was weird cause when we were... recording that tune
  The video was already like on telly for it
  Like cause w- peopled be like watching TV int other room like ahh quick were on were on MTV or whatever
  Cause like the v- the version we did for the video
  Like we just made another recording like its just us playing like a TV studio or whatever and-
  Yeah that version of it was just like there and then
  So its weird like we were tryna cut this single in one room
  And it was like on telly in like the other room like us
  Erm, yeah, just use that
  But erm, but no we did it with, er, did it again, yeah did it there with Jamie like in, in Lincoln
  And then that became the... version
  But it all came from that like drum thing on the beginning, you know like the, I mean originally, that was like the
  What was like the first part of that song, was like that kinda drum thing
  I play like the lead on it yeah, and like this sorta cord thing, not really, I cant really, cant remember, what, when that happened or what even like, what practice room we were in at that time really but
  I remember Matt playing that thing round, cause I think I guess it was like some exercise or something hed like seen somewhere or like a version of it which hed like sped up or somet and he were like doing it as fast as he could and then
  Like a lot of them songs, like then, used to come from something like that hed play
  He almosts like plays, like riffs on drums sometimes or whatever, or plays like leads or somet so
  Its like more fun than ever to play it now
  Like I think I probably fell out with it for a, for a moment like somewhere along the way
  But I kinda
  Yeah I fell out with eve-
  I fall out with all of them at some point, but thats definitely one that like
  Id never imagine like not playing it
  And now when it kinda comes round in sets, its just like, fun yknow
  Like thats it
  Its erm
  Yeah no we all sorta really enjoy playing that
  And its one of them you can like
  Cause some of the other songs weve written since then I guess are a bit more like complex and you have to kinda concentrate a little bit more
  And like think about singing in tune and like playing the right notes
  And that one...
  You can sorta, just like have a laugh with... few minutes
  Still manage to murder it sometimes though, it kinda feels like a lot of them older tunes
  We dont play a lot of them because it feels like you cant anymore, like whatever it took to sorta write and like play them songs when we used to, int there anymore
  And for some reason, some of them have a longer shelf life than other ones
  Or it sorta sometimes feel like were doing like covers of-
  It feels like theyre cover songs that we play like
  But we kinda cant do a cover of Fake Tales of San Francisco but I think we do a pl- a pretty good I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor cover.
