Song meaning as told by Jon: "It was written straight after I'd been woken up at 10 in the morning by these two nuns. I'd been planning this sleep-in all day for two weeks, and I got woken up by a missionary who'd come to deliver a message of peace, and I was thinking, 'well, that's exactly what I had until you woke me up'. I wrote the song straight away after they left because I was so pissed off.". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics

If you come knocking on my door
I'll make sure that I'm not there
It's no fun being alone but don't you phone
I'm running

'Cause I know and I'll always remember what you said

Got woken by a missionary
Who'd come to deliver a message of peace
I told her peace was what I had
Until I was woken by a missionary

But if you go
I promise I will remember what you said
