Neil  This was originally called 'The news', but I thought that was a crap title. One day when I was by myself in the studio and we'd just finished a track and I decided to do a track with no sequencing whatsoever; where everything was played live. That's why there's no programming credit.

Chris I thought it sounded a bit messy.

Neil  I love this song. It didn't take very long to do. It's an absolutely accurate description of a Sunday afternoon at Rocky Lane: dragonflies over the swimming pool, Sandra the cook's dog barking, aeroplanes flying overhead. Every time you drove in, rabbits ran everywhere. And the news we were waiting for-rather banally, so I'm reluctant to say it-is what number our album was going to go into the charts at. I sing the chorus two different ways. I was imagining us going totally down the dumper with this album -that's what it was about, really.

Neil  Rocky Lane symbolises a rocky future, as well as being the name of the house: 'It's all over; love'.

Chris 'You're now fat, forty and finished.' It sounds like Andy Pandyat the beginning. I'm waiting for Looby Loo to come out.

Neil  I think it sounds like Enya, myself. It's meant to be very pastoral.

Chris I don't think I had anything to do with this. I wasn't even there.

Neil  What is puzzling, and what I genuinely can't remember; is what the last line means. 'Did I ever tell you that I worked out where I went wrong?'

Chris I have no idea what that means. Assuming it means anything.
