Overview
editSimon Neil has commented on the song, saying:
This was the first song that was written for The Vertigo of Bliss. We've got lots of back-and-forth vocals and has got a crazy break-down section. It's almost quintessential Biffy, I guess.[2]
Track 3 on the vinyl release is a new version of a song that originally appeared on Iname.
