Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring guitarist Graham Coxon taking over lead vocal duties from Damon Albarn, the song is a jangly, deeply melodic reflection on the numbing routine of domestic life and overcoming alcoholism. The track's sweet, indie-rock aesthetic contrasts sharply with the heavier, electronic experimentation present on the rest of the album. It is universally remembered for its highly acclaimed music video featuring 'Milky', an animated, dancing milk carton searching for Coxon.
