Trivia:
The album was going to be called "Sport",
"Soft Porn" or "Magic Arrows".
Damon was heavily inspired by
Martin Amis' "London Fields" novel at the time of writing process.
"Tracy
Jacks" is not about a transvestite. The CD
booklet features a drawing by Graham which
caused many people some confusion.
"Parklife" is the only time when
Graham has played a saxophone on a Blur record. Actor, Phil Daniels
sings the verses.
"To The End" features Laetitia
Sadier from Stereolab on the spoken French sections. An early demo
features Justine Frischmann in the same parts.
"Lot 105"
comes from the Hammond organ Damon plays,
acquired at an auction for £150. Graham thought
of the one line in the song, "18 times a
week, girl, ha ha ha ha ha!"
