It contains two major samples:

  • The descending bass line and guitar lick from Davey Graham's song "Anji" (hence the co-writing credit).
  • The voice from Harry Cox's song "The Pretty Ploughboy" off his album A Century of Song ("And they sent him down into the war to be slain, be slain... / And they sent him down into the war to be slain.")

The song can be downloaded from the band's website here.
