From Foxbase Alpha
Written by Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs

Notes “An early attempt to do something symphonic - like Jimmy Webb,
MacArthur Park, an end of album epic!” (Pete Wiggs, 2009).
“We did it because it was a ‘Poem on the Underground’. The melody came into my head in Stockholm while I was seeing The Stone Roses. It occurred to me about 3 years later I’d subconsciously nicked it from the guitar part to
I Wanna Be Adored.” (Bob Stanley, 2009).

Saint Etienne – Like the Swallow
She's like the swallow that flies so high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
I love my love and love is no more
Saint Etienne
