Another title I'd had lying around forages, but the song was written at
Rocky Lane. We'd never written a song about hating rock 'n' roll.
Chris It's a bit ironic putting this after the previous tracks.
I think we don't really know what we like and don't like.
Neil
The song is a statement about the things
about
rock 'n' roll that I don't like-all the pomposity and hypocrisy and the
rest of it. I'm saying that when I grew up, I hated all these things.
It suggests that one once liked rock 'n' roll but was disillusioned by
it. Really it should be called 'Howl became disillusioned by rock 'n'
roll'. You get disillusioned because it's insincere, everyone copies everyone
else, everyone sets them selves up as wanting to change the world and
then joins the rock aristocracy. We're going through it again at the moment.
Chris
There's even a dance aristocracy now that's even worse. You've got all
the DJs flying around the world in private jets and swanning around in
Ferrarls and going on about their wine collections. It's dreadful.
Neil
I don't know what we were trying to be musically on this. I don't think
it was ever going to be anything other than a b-side. The album was sort
of finished when we did it.
