And it was literally carnage at the back of Piccadilly
To see who could buy it first
And does the limited edition seven inch quench your thirst?
For an album that will probably let you down
But it doesn't even matter coz' you don't like that band anymore
Coz' they're not underground

This is Fray's interpretation of the music industry at the time in Manchester, about such enthusiasm for new bands that are overhyped and will disappoint once their album is out. There is to me, also a poke at a certain "indie" following behind certain bands, and how when they start to get too big their support by certain people for them dwindles - "you don't like that band anymore, they're not underground".
