Tore up all your photos, didn't feel too clever

I wasn't terribly into music when this track came out, but it got quite a lot of airplay due to the Britpop thing sweeping the nation at the time, and Sleeper probably stood out from the crowd because they had... shock horror... a female singer. I bought the single, on a cassette, and I put it on lots of compilation tapes. I thought it was incredibly catchy, mainly because of the way it races away at the end - I've always been a fan of songs that do that.

But I liked the words as well, romantic fool that I was and struggling with all my conflicting emotions, and the idea of a relationship was fascinating to me, even one that's clearly not working like the one being described in this song.
