Songfacts®:

  • Guitarist Serge Pizzorno told Q magazine May 2009: "People have said that this song reminds them of Small Faces. It feels like it's being sung by the last man standing at the bar."
  • Pizzorno explained to the NME June 13, 2009: "It's a relationship song this, about two mates. You can imagine them as boys, then confronting everything again when they're adults."
  • On this song, Pizzorno provides vocals along with their singer Tom Meighan. Pizzorno said to the NME: "It's nice to be able to sing one with Tom, but we don't really think about who sings what, it's just what will work best."
