The video was shot in a flat in Wimbledon, directed by Jonathan Bate.
David: It's a song about movies.
Stephen: The song wasn't finished when we got to LA to record the album. When we were in the studio with Chris Goss, Dave played it on his acoustic guitar. To annoy Chris, I started playing the tune from 'Popcorn' on this cheap Casio keyboard. Eventually this ended up in the final recording. The studio technician went 'That's clever man: popcorn, movies and caramel - I get it!'
you fell down the stairs,
been done before
stuck to the seats
like caramel
caramel
no word is spoken,
try and act serene
stuck on each other
like caramel
caramel
red splendour above my head
the ugly, the bad and the good.
i saw you projected there
on canvas oil of blood
world where have you gone
watch them leaving
stuck on somebody else
like caramel
caramel
red splendour above my head
the ugly, the bad and the good
i saw you projected there
on canvas oil of blood
strung out on each other's lines
heroes with an edge
i saw you projected there
but it didn't make any sense
