Lyrics

McCormack said, "The record companies are always keen for that radio-friendly, unit-shifting smash hit. And that is their job I guess. So I basically quoted all the things I'd heard them say to us and other people. Like you have to have a hit song -- you need a chorus and the verse and then the other chorus and it just seemed like a formula. So I thought that if they want a hit song I will just write exactly what they want and I guess they thought I was being too cynical and ironic but I was just trying to give them what they wanted. I gave them exactly what they asked for. And they said 'Thank you very much'."[3]
