Image:Flagpole Sitta.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What is the song about?

I read the entire article and no information is given about the song content. ^{şṗøʀĸşṗøʀĸ: τᴀʟĸ} 22:24, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'd like to think it was about mental illness, it's been one of my personal anthems since i first saw Peep Show and fell in love with the chorus. (I'm not sick but I'm not well)johnnybriggs (talk 20:21, 28 April 2011 (UTC)).Reply[reply]

I was thinking it was about political protest, since flagpole sitting is used to protest thing I believe. And the line "I'm not sick but I'm not well" might be a reference to things in the government that make his life harder.--HighlyProfessional (talk) 07:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
