The song first gained attention on August 15, 2023, when it was reuploaded by YouTube user mckiddie.[2] The song's filename was "93 fev side 54.mp3", so it was dated to February 1993 or earlier because the OP was French and Février means February in French.[3]

Lyrics[edit | edit source]
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
Didn't do that, didn't know that You're always wrong But of course I'm such an asshole Deep in the depth of my soul (Verse 2) Sometimes I wish I was a film star Perched at the end of a bar Perhaps a cowboy in a whorehouse Or just a little gray mouse (Refrain) My house, my house My house, my house, my house (Verse 3) But of course I realize escaping Only takes me deeper in To something that's long gone You're always wrong (Verse 4) I know things will get better, Wendy But the times, they do me wrong Of all the things I'm certain It's that I must belong One thing that I can't stand People don't know how to live And one fact they got over me is That they know how to give, how to give |
Personnel[edit | edit source]
Philip Wagg – lead vocals, guitar
Wayne Walker – bass
Simon Jones – drums
