Something Changed 27: National Express
Posted in Lyrics, Music, 1990s, Something Changed at 12:00 on 18 October 2019
It’s an unusual song, to say the least, that hymns the delights of a cross-country method of public transport. Yet that is exactly what this jaunty, tongue-in-cheek number from 1998 does.
It is also a statement of sorts to name your band after a famous poem by Dante Alighieri even though it is a bit of a pisstake.
The song contains one of pop lyrics’ immortal lines in, “It’s hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country.”
