The Divine Comedy - Outside. Neil writes: "My excellent band and I were bored, and we fancied trying to record something remotely for the first time. I wrote this song a few years ago. It almost made it onto 'Office Politics' but fell at the last. The lyrics in case you’re wondering, were inspired by my teenage shyness (with a soupçon of hay fever for good measure). We hope you like it." #TheDivineComedy #Outside | The Divine Comedy
