History

Compared to the rest of the Stars of CCTV album, this song has a much darker feel which is most probably due to what the song is about and features saxophones and trumpets played by Kellie Santin and Nick Etwell. Stars of CCTV is the debut album from Staines -based British band Hard-Fi. ^[2] The track is about a realtionship that's over. However it appears as if the girlfriend of Archer wants to get back together after having an affair. Richard John Archer (born January 18, 1977) is the frontman of UK Indie-rock band Hard-Fi. The lyrics suggest he will have none of this "I'll tell you how it's gonna be, don't you never, ever come near me". ^[3]

The b-side Polish Love Song was recorded in one take backstage at the Kansas City Grand Emporium. Kansas City Missouri only Items for the metro area Kansas City Kansas or North Kansas City MO should go on their respective pages ^[4] The song pleads the case for illegal immigrant workers coming from Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe is a general term that refers to the Geopolitical region encompassing the easternmost part of the European continent.

Design

The single was created, designed and photographed by Aaron Hinchion and Matt Gibbins of communications agency ALBION. The CD cover opens up to give a bigger insight to the story told in the music. For Better Do Better it was about placing the phone in the appropriate context. The phone sits on a pub table and shows us that Tina is being deleted from the contacts list. The Tina mentioned on some of the sleeves formed a subplot throughout all the single releases, most notably on the cover for Better do Better, which probably suggests the girl in the song is "Tina". She later became a bit of a talking point both in the music press and on the fan forums. The Hard-Fi CCTV camera icon also appeared subtley on every cover in different forms.

Like all of the Hard-Fi releases, various formats carried subtle changes to differentiate them on the shelf. Making them all collectable. Better Do Better's delete message was in various stages of completion on the CD cover and 7" sleeve.
