A sunny Bank Holiday weekend in the UK? Can only mean one thing!

 

The trombone makes it. Loved that, 1997 finished uni, moved back home and was hurtling on a collision course with reality when that was released and it sounded like sweet balm, especially needed with the Verves “The drugs dont work they just make me worse” on the radio constantly 😂

Probably the most disturbing and eerie single that ever got into the charts.

I remember buying it when it came out, but it was only in later years that I actually found out what it meant.....or what it was supposed to mean.

Peter Green explained that he wrote the song after experiencing a drug-induced dream in which he was visited by a green dog which barked at him from the afterlife. He understood that the dog represented money.

"It scared me because I knew the dog had been dead a long time. It was a stray and I was looking after it. But I was dead and had to fight to get back into my body, which I eventually did. When I woke up, the room was really black and I found myself writing the song".
