| If you look at the lyrics on their own; Weller paints a pretty depressing picture but as on songs like "Saturday's Kids" the music almost turns the song into a celebration! "I could go on for hours and I probably will!" | |

| Could this song have anything to do with religion? It seems to me that the advice to "stop apologising for things you've never done" could tie in with the notion that we should stop praying for forgiveness for basically having done nothing wrong (other than very petty things, and of course original sin), and that life could be much better if we just concentrated on the problems we have here and now instead of hoping for some better life afterwards. | |

| The bassline is a nod towards Motown music (Detroit in the US is Motor City or a Motor Town, they produced cars, so Motown) and the song was released in 1982 as a double A side with Precious. The significance of The Jam playing both tracks on Top of the pops was because the last time that had happened was in 1965 when the Beatles did We can work it out/Day Tripper on one edition of ToTP. Oasis repeated this feat in 1995/1996? The dates elude me. | |
