John Squire (Speaking to the NME, 1989): "Made of Stone about making a wish and watching it happen. Like scoring a goal in a Cup final…on a Harley Electroglide…dressed as Spider-Man". The band made their debut on national British TV by performing this song on BBC 2's cultural show "The Late Show" in September 1989, resulting in a power cut 60 seconds into the song and Ian Brown infamously walking off shouting "Amateurs!" B-side Guernica (the title of which references Pablo Picasso's Guernica) is made of stone in reverse, but with forward lyrics.
