I like this cd, but this is one of my least favorite tracks... But the lyrics are pretty funny.
"Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on"

"Mardy bum" is colloquial ( northern ) English slang and translates as an affectionate term for a close friend who is being short tempered or angry. The word 'mardy' means (sort of) angry, and the addition of the suffix 'bum' reduces the impact of the adjective and adds a degree of familiarity to the phrase.
The girl in the song is angry at the man for being late and his litany of excuses cut no ice with her. He is acknowledging her feelings and trying not to provoke her further.
In my experience, the phrase is mainly used in Yorkshire. I used to live in Sheffield and one of the joys of listening to this band is the unashamed use of local references which take me back to when I used to live there.
Isn't learning about another culture a journey of discovery?
I wish Massive Attack would do the same thing and use expressions like "'ark at 'ee", "allrights me luvver" and "gurt lush". |

More crud from this bunch, Bill? Do we have to listen to them 2x a day? I know I can hit the mute button, but really, this group is rubbish and only deserves an eclectic 1x month play.

Great call, I was wondering why I was marginally less pumped to hear this song. Only marginally: 9 without question. |

Didn't like the first single (something about looking good on the dancefloor)...but everything I've heard on RP is growing on me.
