ChrisI just did some tracks when I was working with Ian Wright and then he and I chose the track which was obviously the one for him, which became 'Do The Right Thing'.

Neil  Chris gave me a cassette of what he thought were the best things he'd done that hadn't been used. It took me ages to write the words over the course of 1995.1 think I started writing them on a train. It's sort of a feel-bad, feel-good song. It's about growing old, and that, when you've reached a certain age, you've survived this far. You're still alive. A friend of mine committed suicide early that year; which I was rather depressed about. She's referred to in the song, where I sing 'teachers and artists and Saturday girls'. I used to work with her; and The Saturday Girls were a group she was supposed to be in. 'Don't drop bombs', which we recorded with Liza Minnelli on Results, was originally an idea for a song for The Saturday Girls.

ChrisIt's quite anthemia-sounding, 'The survivors'.

Neil  It was the first song we recorded with Chris Porter. I think we'd both thought as soon as we'd done the demo that it would be on the album.

Chris Especially when we added those backing vocals.

Neil  We remixed it late in 1995 and changed the drum track, but just before Bilingual was released we went back to the first mix we'd done, which Chris said he'd always preferred. I've never felt totally happy about the sound of the rhythm track. It's a bit muddy. But I like the question and answer; call and response thing. It's also great to have the words 'twinsets and pearls' in a song. In the final chorus, at 3.37, you can hear me sing 'race' twice. It's a mistake, but we left it in.
