This fine bit of chamber pop from The Divine Comedy reached number 19 in the UK singles chart, and was released 20 years ago in September 1998. Detailing the madness and corruption of the (then) pre-millennial age, the song also references the previous year's death of Princess Diana, and the ironic hypocrisy of the public buying tabloid papers to read about her death, while also believing the press to be responsible for the car crash that killed her. The song comes from the band's sixth album Fin de Siècle, and features a guest narration by columnist and presenter Katie Puckrick.
