about

If you listen to the choruses I don't think we got the words correct at any time in the whole song. Some of the group say "we ran", when some say "they ran" and some say "they ran", when some say "we ran" and some sung nothing at all man. See what I mean?
Good couple of songs but the second one is much easier to sing. I was knackered after that combination song whenever we sung it at concerts, which was often.
Basically the song is about a battle where both sides decided to have a tea break at the same time. My kind of battle, really.
