Well, from what i can't tell, the part about weeping on the steps is about people who just have the need to feel miserable. There's also a bit about a chance/coincidence earlier in the song and I think it applies to this "strange" attraction to someone that is really all by chance. if you take your eyes off them, they'll start spreading stories? Alot of Humbug is Alex's fascination with the dark side of human nature. It's become a part of him now though. THE MAN NEEDS HIS STRANGE!

I love some early b-sides also. 'Bigger boys...', 'Settle for a draw', 'cigaretter smoker fiona...' etc. are all great.
Infact there are few songs by the Monkeys that aren't great.

I can't listen Sketchead, Don't forget whose legs you're on and catapult. Fuck you WMG. You bastards!

@diegomont406 well.. they are good side b's but i'll have to admit they are better :/
catapult is worth 110% listening though

I don't know what kind of drugs alex was when he wrote this but its AWESOME. Lol what on earth was he thinking.
colosalblack 1 year ago
Yes some of the B-Sides are amazing and better than some of the album songs but where would they fit in the album?
Fright Lined Dining Room and Catapult are incredible, but they just wouldn't fit into Humbug.
Sandtrap could easily have been a Humbug B-Side, it's mental

I like the similarites it has with Sketchead, even the intro is the same. But I prefer this over Sketchead.
