This is a song about getting up in the morning and falling down the stairs on your way into the kitchen. And going into the kitchen with a really sore ankle. And taking some food out for breakfast and realizing that the yougurt has got fungus on the top. Then you decide, ok, I'll just have some fruit. The fruit's not particularly satisfying, because you're looking for something a bit more comfortable.

There's a tin of beans, but you're just not inspired. You go out, to go down to the shops. You had a piece of an apple, but it had been sitting for too long so it wasn't particularly nice. So you get in the car and go down to the shops. You get in the car and on your way to the shops to pick up some stuff, and on your way to the shops you realize you forgot to bring money. You go back to the house, and by the time you get back to the house you're dizzy from being so hungry. You start getting really pissed off. Your mother calls, and its not the conversation you wanted to have right at that moment in time.

You decide you're going to stay in and you're not going to eat anything because you're just fucked off. So you call a friend later on that day and she says "come on over to the house. Just get on the bus, and come on over to the house". So you get on the bus, go to your friends house. She says "what's up with you?" "I don't fuckin know, I'm just pissed off" And she's one of these people that it doesn't matter that you cursed at your mother earlier in the day or it doesn't matter if you're a dick, she just accepts you and likes you for who you are.

At this point you're looking for anything to give you a bit of solace. And your friend says "hey look, why don't you stay the night here tonight? My bed is by a big massive window, you can just stare out at the stars." And for a moment, the guy in you goes "cool". And she continues talking, in mid sentence you had this thought and she says "yeah I'll stay up by my sister tonight." Anyways, so she tells you to look at the stars and just ask them for a sign, you know, she says "when you're really down, just ask them for a sign". Ever so mildy hippy, this girl.

And so I remember lying there and kind of going "ok, goodnight" she closed the door. Waited a few minutes, looked at the stars. Everything went quiet. Spent a bit of time with myself. Felt a little bit better. Then decided to go to plan B, and started looking at the stars and said "Ok stars, give us a sign". And right at that moment where I said "common, just do something" there's a shooting star and I thought, "Fuck...cool!"

but then I got cynical straight away. And I looked up and I said "Look, I've seen a fucking shooting star before, I want you to impress me tonight, I want you to show me something to really believe in". I don't know what happened, but something happened. I don't think I'd been drinking or, you know, under the influence of anything, but something very strange happened and the next day I wrote this song
