Story behind the song
I had a lyric itch and wrote down some ideas. G had it in mind to do a Velvet Underground-esque number. So we ended up sounding like 'Young Marble Giants'. Spot the 'Jesus & Mary Chain' line.... All the best songs have la-la-la's in them!
Lyrics
When I tell you I love you please don't ask me why. It's because your feet are smaller, so much smaller than mine. And when you get angry you never stay that way for long. And what you are wishing for always comes along. La la... When I tell you I love you, please don't ask me why. It's because of the weather under an April sky. When we go out to dingy cafes filled with light, your hair stands up on its own and it's such a sight. La la...........
