Dear Christ I was at university when he was kicking off and all the bloody twat students going on about Mike BLOODY Flowers and how reeeelly funny and reeeelly ironic and how it was like totally piercing the bubble of pretentiousness that musicians live in because it's like reeeelly good satire made me jolly cross.

it's such a great song it's really difficult to fuck it up

Now I'm sick of hearing it
