This perfect song. It all made sense to me – the Saints – through this song. (I’m) Stranded is great and all, but this to me is everything of the time bomb we’ve been told that first single was. It’s everything the Saints have been praised for, with none of the affected snarl and privileged-kid-play-acting rock’n'roll i’ve found in their other work. There’s something pure here. There’s something essential, something the apotheosis of everything they’ve been credited for. Such a fantastic song. Why we aren’t given this song along with our Australian citizenships like we are (I’m) Stranded i don’t know. Maybe because this song was recorded and first released in England. Shhhh…..
