Discover the story of the song > “Kill the Director” – The Wombats

The protagonist is in love with a girl with many talents that he doesn't possess, and he tries to impress her by reading the newspaper even though he's not interested. He compares himself to a teenage band, singing about a gender he doesn't understand. He asks to "kill the director" if the situation is a romantic comedy, implying that he doesn't want his life to be scripted like a movie. The song ends with the repeated phrase "This is no Bridget Jones," meaning that the protagonist's love life isn't a cliché rom-com.
