In the latest NME (10 may) there is a full “track by track rundown” of HTTT by Thom and Jonny. Here’s the interesting stuff
-2+2=5 was the first song done, in a hurry because Nigel “wouldn’t let us eat anything until we’d done it”
-Sit Down Stand Up was written 5 years ago, post OKC, “watching the delights of Rwanda” on TV…
- I will as well is from 5 years ago, so no use reading too much in the lyrics. “*laughing* Spot the new father!”
-Thom: “I think we’re loosening up. At last. Taken an Ex-Lax.”
-Where I end and you begin: Jonny “It’s another love song, isn’t it? You old soppy.” Thom: “Let me think about that for a moment. Yes, I guess so.”
-There There: “We did a bad version of it on a webcast once…”
-Scatterbrain is (partly) about seeing old newspapers blowing in the wind.
