| When I saw them in Manchester last year, Guy was kinda asking the audience to forgive him. He really came across as asking Manchester to forgive him... 1 | |

| I think this is just about being alone at a party or club, maybe he's just broken up with someone. The first verse is maybe him watching other people on their night out in the town on his way there, with all the neon lights of the clubs and take-aways. He picks a plot (bar/club) to try and socialise and make a new start. He talks about the doorman while he's entering or queuing up, his head is probably bald and slightly red resembling Mars. He probably a bit round and looks like a baby, standing there folding his arms, he has the power to refuse entry to anyone like how a genie can grant you wishes. He's surrounded by all this filth yet he remains calm in his nice suit with his mace on standby. Then i think the main part of the song is where Guy's asking you if you're the kind of person who is a bit apprehensive like him, who feels everyone else is finding partners, and who worries about how he looks to other people. He is so desperate for attention and acceptance that he feels attracted to any woman, perhaps those who talk to him, or maybe ones he's watching. The chorus could be him thinking about his ex girlfriend, how he wont forget her, but can forget his own problems if the city helps him recover. | |

| Hey, what does Satellite town mean? I mean, Doves mentioned it too in their song Black and White town. Is it a manchester thing or something? | |

| its a fairly straightforward song this. It's a celebration (of sorts) of Manchester night life. Piccadilyl is the main street in Manchester, when he refers to "They're pacing Piccadilly in packs again" he means the masses out for a friday/saturday night. | |

| i think the line neon graffiti singing to make a new start explains it for me. its about seeking pastures new and feeling sick of rough bleak towns or cities. moving somewhere else you can start again or forget yourself. pacing piccadilly? maybe police. don;t really get the first 2 lines/ anyone else? | |
