[This song was Pop Will Eat Itself's biggest hit in their native UK, charting at #9; it was also their last single for RCA, who dropped them in '93 for poor chart performance. Ironic, no? This song appeared on the first Neon Exodus Evangelion MOSAIC as a tongue-in-cheek theme for DJ Croft, whose self-confident, slightly self-parodying (though a lot of readers didn't really get that part :) swagger matches well with PWEI's own.]I'll love and leave you I'll believe I'm your friend or foe
