Supergrass
Moving
(Parlophone)

Kind of not really the best song on the album by a long shot, but still actually rather good, in a weird way. Y'know? Kind of all the tune you want and all the a-bit-stranger-than-anything-else fiddling around that's always made Supergrass a little bit interesting. Except...
Zia: "Is this a soap opera theme tune?"
Courtney: "If it isn't, it's gonna be. It's the middle-section vignette of an English version of 'While You Were Sleeping'. It's not Mansun, is it. by any chance?"
It's Supergrass
Zia: "Oh nooooo!!!![They're on the same label] Noooo!"
Courtney: "Uhhh... Something nice... Uhh... I'm not sure what the hell is going on with this. I'm done with this. I think perhaps they're too concerned with moving with the times, with not being remembered for 'Alright' or something. Something's going on in their heads. Or nothing."
Zia: "That's too bad. Sorry."
