COUNTRY HOUSE from their 4th LP The Great Escape.

They won the media-pushed battle with Oasis who came in 2nd with
their new single Roll With It
It sold 270,000 copies on day one,
50.000 units more than Oasis did.
“He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it’s like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country”
