"Plain Parade"
"Sick and Tired" is a pop song by The Cardigans. It was released in September 1994 as the 3rd single from their debut album Emmerdale in Sweden and 1st single in Japan. It was subsequently featured on the international release of their second album Life and issued as the first single from it in March 1995. A reissue later the same year became the group's first top 40 hit in the UK.
The song addresses the aftermath of a summer love affair which ended badly, leaving the narrator "sick and tired". In the chorus, the narrator addresses her former lover, suggesting that "you can always say you did no major harm", before immediately rejecting such a notion with "oh spare me if you please".
All of the B-sides from both issues of the single were later included on the compilation The Other Side of the Moon. All except the cover of "The Boys Are Back in Town" also appeared on the 2CD edition of Best Of The Cardigans.
