    Wow, hardly any comments. Such a beauty track. Reminds me of my youth, some fab tracks in the 90s like.

      I had it on tape. B-side was a cover of Blue Shadow. Amazing, amazing song. Makes me smile.

      Oh yeah I see the similarity.
      But there are only so many chord progressions in the world that work! I'm sure it's been used loads of times before!

    Amazing song. Takes me back to 1997. Being 19, working as a scaffold labourer in Guernsey. Lugging year on my shoulder to the back of a property overlooking the town harbour, in the sun, radio one, Chris Moyles, thinking about a girl I’d met.
    Just no stress and life all ahead of me.
    Reminds me to love being alive and try to make the most of it!

    A criminally underrated song. A Britpop track that was released after the Britpop bubble had burst. Hence it received no radio airplay at the time and sadly isn't remembered today.

    Saw them do this at Reading 2000. As they went into the outro, Mark Morriss started singing "People, all over the world, join hands, and form a love chain..." I thought he was a genius.

    If you get out before September
    Remember that I'm still inside
    But I'm dry, I'm dry
    And you, when you try to make a difference
    You're so different and then I try, and just die, I die
    You know that I need you more than I want ya
    But I want ya for all time
    So I'm, I guess on the line
    It's all that I can do to
    Sing these stupid songs to you
    I give up half my time just
    Trying to think up words that rhyme
    I ain't getting any younger
    But you wouldn't know
    So it's on with the show
    Sometimes a smoke a drink and a ponder
    Can work wonders when you're down
    Takes your frown, turns it round, around
    And you when you try to make a difference
    You're no different than when I try, and just die, I die
    And now that your day-dream is forgotten and forgiven
    And the world has been saved, be brave
    [Chorus]
    It's all that I can do to
    Sing these stupid songs to you
    I give up half my time just
    Trying to think up words that rhyme
    I ain't getting any younger
    But you wouldn't know
    'Cause I walk in shadow
    [Bridge]
    And I never ever really show my face
    But I'm only ever seen in the right place
    [Outro]
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na
    Na na na na
    Na na na na na

      I first heard this on it's release in 1998 and my Girfriend at the time was filling in her University Application, following year 1999 she left for Southampton in September... So that first couple of lines really meant something to me! Years late in the 2010s hearing those lines again in different circumstances, they still had some meaning, this time I was a month away from release from Prison - September 2011 or 12 - no longer with the Girlfriend from way back! I'd been dry for a while and was hoping for a smoke - cigarrette - and I could hear this playing on a radio a few cell doors down from me! I found out later that it was BBC Radio 2 that the other inmate had been listening to! I just think some songs are meant to be heard by so many different people and have various meanings to whoever listens to them, but the opening bass on If... will always stand out to me wherever I am!

    We thought this was good in the 90s because we were naive teenagers. This music dont stand the test of time and the lack of views here proves it.
