Good album song but never ever single material in my eyes...

I don't think it could be a great single. In Fundamental there're many other songs that could be a single.....

I can't stand this song

As for it making a good single, no. Not because I don't like it but I just don't think it would be a good single, it sounds too dated (like Integral...).

I personally feel this song is more 'not in place' on Fundamental than 'Numb'.
As for a single; I believe this track is too dull for that. It's a good B-side but a bit boring for the album let alone a single. 'The resurrectionist' Would've been great on the album!

No - it's my least favourite of the tracks I've heard so far. Quite a nice idea to conflate the personal with the political but it doesn't really gel.

It's interesting that many people don't seem to like it when it was one of the most popular tracks when the clips went online.

What is that old saying again?.....One man's pill is another man's poison? It doesn't matter what the song, there's always going to be someone who adores it or someone who loathes it. For me this song is why I love PSB so much. It bubbles along unpretentiously with a gorgeous little melody and clever lyrics, and it reminds me SO much of Miserablism, one of my all time favourites. Quite why this song is so maligned is beyond me, and I start to wonder if I live in some sort of parallel universe where everyone else is hearing something completely different to what I'm hearing. I don't know if it would make a good single or not, but I just adore it, I think it is one of the highlights on Fundamental. It is a soothing pill for me!

It's a very good song, single? No chance

I think it could be a single if you mixed it a bit..

It could be a single but the problem is that PSB have just made a blinding album and this happens to be one of the weaker tracks. It's still good though which says a lot for "Fundamental".

I just hope they release Twentieth Century instead of TSAGS or Numb (if they are going to be singles)
