I've known this song for a long time, even though I didn't listen to all of Blur's discography until earlier this year. That's only because it was a single, and a lot of people know it for its memorable video directed by Hammer & Tongs.
I can't really listen to this song without thinking about that milk carton. The music video has nothing to do with the message of the song, which is more about wanting to break away from uncomfortable social situations and living the simple life without any worries, but it just fits. I couldn't imagine the song having any other video.
Did you know that the solo in the song wasn't even meant to be in the final version of the song? Apparently it was a placeholder until Coxon could think of something better, but it just got to the point where they couldn't because it was too late. That's a good thing to bear in mind.
Enjoy.
