The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Released in 1988, it was re-released in 1990 alongside its inclusion on The La’s self-titled and only album. I once had a house mate who loved this album and I would probably agree with his opinion that it is an almost perfect LP. Sixpence None the Richer covered this song in 1999, but the original is far superior!

I've always loved this song but I've never heard anything else on the album. I agree the original is far superior to the cover.

Might even say the cover was six percent and none the richer. Math checks out.

It's on the So I Married an Axe Murderer soundtrack, which is great!

That's it! I was sitting here trying to remember where I was introduced to this great song. Thanks

The La’s album is one of the greatest albums of all time.
