The chorus is ok, I remember the song as well but have no idea why it's popular again. Best song of the 90's? Spaceman, Babylon Zoo.

Every now and then I'll see this song pop up in convo on twitter or something similar, and everyone seems in agreement that it's a brilliant song. It happened again the other day on my twitter feed - people saying it's the best song of the 90's! And every time I have to listen to it and check that I'm listening to the same song...cos it's absolutely fucking AWFUL. What am I missing? I can't be the only person that thinks this monstrosity is absolutely horrendous!? And I don't just mean I think it's a bit of a crap song, it's honestly one of the worst I've ever heard. Has my head in my hands just a few seconds in with despair. Dreadful - so what am I missing? Is it just that the lyrics appeal to people who have been dumped and can't handle it? Even so the lyrics aren't particularly good? Can't just be me? If so then what am I missing? There's no real melody, the lyrics are shit, the violins are way over the top...it's just an awful mess, put people seem to love it?
Here it is for anyone that doesn't know it, make up your own minds:
Good record IMO.
Gets into my 90s top 40.
Bold move by Bernard Butler at the time.
I think he'd just walked out on Suede around this time and this was his first "solo" effort. Could be my memory playing tricks on me though.Why ? (Genuine question)

Do you not feel the affirmative title is just another example of the government/Illuminati trying to control us through compliance and mind control?Love it
