Recording contributions [edit]

Too as the contributions from band members, in the documentary Paul Heaton: From Hull to Heatongrad, songwriter Paul Heaton refers to contributions to the recording from Norman Cook and Paul Weller, who offered production assistance and rhythm guitar respectively.

Analysis [edit]

The verses of the song—sung alternately by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott—are made up of a series of innuendos using clothing sizes and penis length to illustrate a loving human relationship between two people who don't adapt to modern stereotypes of concrete perfection. The male song shows that although his partner is a piddling on the large side ("but she wears a 12"), she is a 'perfect 10' in his eyes. He likewise states, "the anorexic chicks, the model half dozen, they don't hold no weight with me," preferring instead to, "hold something I can see."

Likewise, the female person song references penis size in several places, suggesting that "XXL" is unnecessary ("Every penny don't fit the slot") and that even when all her partner has to offer is "a poor poor four, in that location ain't no man can supercede."

The chorus to the song is sung by both male and female vocals, and confirms the theme of a happy and accepting relationship beyond ideas of conventional dazzler, with Heaton and Abbott stating:

"We dearest our dearest, in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lies
Fourth dimension takes its toll, merely not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight."
