Bound for Pablo Honey, this song was actually left off the album and
instead released as the band's final single of 1993. Thom describes it as "a kind of epitaph of 1992. Hence the lines,
'Pop is dead / [long live pop] / died an ugly death by back catalogue'" (Paphides). Band members seem to concur that
this is a very weak track, deserving of the scathing reviews it received. Nevertheless, it's a catchy rocker with clever
lyrics and explosive guitar lines. |

Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop It died an ugly death by back-catalogue And now you know it gets you nowhere And now you know, you realize Oh no, pop is dead, it just gave up We'll raise the dead, but they won't stand up And radio has salmonella And now you know you're gonna die He left this message for us So what, pop is dead, it's no great loss So many facelifts, its face flew off The emperor really has no clothes on And his skin is peeling off Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop One final line of coke to jack him up Jack him up He left this message for us He left this message for us He left this message for us |
