7 Ways To Love

Lyrics

Okay, so they're not highly literate lyrics `cause it's a techno-mantra stomp kind of a thing. A vocal sample saying "Seven" forms part of the rhythm loop at times.

Seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / yeah! /

is enough to give you the basic idea...

Trivia

Here's the band talking about how this Etienne-born song went from underground club hit to Top Ten single.
Bob:
7 Ways To Love sounded like a good single but was too cheesy for Saint Etienne. We'd have been finished overnight. So we pressed some white labels with Sarah singing under the Cola Boy pseudonym and they flew out. [This is the rather rare version titled 7 Ways 2 Love - Anthony] It was a massive underground hit, which made us laugh because nobody knew who it was. We were absolutely broke, so it was to get some money. When Arista picked it up, we couldn't do it with Sarah because she was totally Saint Etienne. So we redid it with a friend of hers. And to front it for PAs and Top Of The Pops was Boy Naughty from Peterborough - remember him?
Pete:
Then it was covered by this Japenese singer, Nokko - we wrote and produced it with morewords and a rap bit, and we wrote the album's title track, Call Me Nightlife. It sold 400,000 copies on Japanese Epic.
