Kad bismo ove godine birali najbolje albume po textovima, odmah iza WEDDING PRESENT bili bi LITTLE MAN TATE. Barem, s obzirom da se Jarvis nije pojavljivao ove godine. Iako su Gedgeovi textovi na višem nivou, fizičkom i psihičkom, jer je čovjek ipak počeo pisati i prije nego su se ovi dječaci počeli igrati u pijesku, postoji neka sličnost koja je neizbježna.

Naime, tematika je većim dijelom ljubavna. Bivša, sadašnja, buduća. Nije bitno. Ljubav. A nema ljepših textova od ljubavnih. Stvarno! I Uvijek i svatko se može naći barem u jednoj pjesmi, u dijelu pjesme i poistovjetiti se sa glavnim junakom ili s nekim iz priče.

So it's your place or my place, hid under the staircase,
waiting for his van to leave.
Everything was alright, could've been a right night,
If he'd not forgot his keys.
"What Your Boyfriend Said"

She looked like Audrey Hepburn
Sang like Doris Day
Legs like Marlene Dietrich
This old girl's the girl that got away
Well I bet she was beautiful
When she was 23
"She looks like Audrey Hepburn"



Girl, to love someone else
Isn't nearly half as hard
As to love yourself
But now, you're settled down
Make sure you've time for me
When I'm around
"A Little Heart"

Oh, you spend your time
Writing love songs, you write love songs about your life
Oh, I don't mind your stories
Yeah, I think that they're nice
But they're keeping me up all night
"Shoulder To Sigh On"

Glazba je slična ili ista prvom albumu. Onako sheffieldski gitaristički britpop. Ništa novo, ništa spektakularno, ali simpatično!

ocjena albuma [1-10]: 7
