    Lead singer Dave Fenton said: “Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn’t expect to.” It was inspired by Fenton’s relationship problems.

    I always thought it was about the look you make when you…. you know…. your ‘O’ face…. Teenage angst would make more sense.

    I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture
    I’d like a million of them all round my cell
    I want the doctor to take a picture
    So I can look at you from inside as well
    You’ve got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning ’round

    Teenage angst ?
