Interviews Behaviour It must be obvious
w

Neil This is a hilarious song. It started off as a joke about whatever must be obvious and I came up with the couplet: 'Everyone knows when he or she look at us/ of course they do, it must be obvious'. Which I thought was hilarious. Then, having written those lines, it turned into another unrequited love song, about being in love with someone and everyone knowing apart from the person you're in love with. I've always liked the lyrics because it mentions The Sound Of Music: 'it feels like the flight of the Von Traps...' There's also a Noel Coward reference, to his short play Shadow play, in which two people go back in time

Chris It's quite interesting, the backing track.

Neil  It was written in Glasgow, hence the guitar. Great snare fills -that what makes this track.

Chris It's very funny quantization. Everything is quantized to triplets.

Neil  It was the b-side of 'So hard'. Jill Carrington played it to someone from another record company who said, 'You might get a lot of people saying that the b-side's better than the a-side'. At the time, Chris wouldn't have this on the album.
