"Daisy Lane" is about a young boy who was stabbed to death on the street where Kelly Jones lives. He told The Sun: "It was something I saw looking out of my very own window. I saw a row of seven policeman searching an area of my street. Then I read in the paper that they'd been searching for a knife as this kid had been stabbed." The band's newsletter on 24 July 2007 confirmed details and artwork of the first 'proper' single to be released from the album. "It Means Nothing" was released in the UK on 24 September 2007, followed by My Friends on 10 December 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words pull and/or pin:
“They are as neat as a wallet,
opening and closing on their coins,
the quarters, the nickels,
straight into the crapper.
Why shouldn’t I pull down my pants
and moon the executioner....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. To “Why am I here?” To uselessness. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
