Notes
The date mentioned, June 4th 1989, was the day of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (Adchelle)

"'Girl VII' was originally called 'Militaria' cos of the drum sound - the big list of names in the middle, which is what everyone remembers about it, we put it in at the end because we felt we needed something extra." (Pete Wiggs 2009).

"It was because of 'Vogue' by Madonna. I think Sarah had been to San Clemente but the places in it, at the time, most of us had never been to. There's a Hungarian football team in there from a Panini sticker book - see if you can spot it!" (Bob Stanley 2009).

"Pollards Hill where we were recording is in there, and Dollis Hill - I remember going out to get a road atlase so we could find more places. (Ian Catt 2009) "When I came to sing 'Girl VII' live I had to come up with something for that repeated sample, so I went "waving a wave boy". So that's the lyric." (Sarah Cracknell 2009).
