But it isn't terrible, it's actually great!

No, really, it is terrible. Listen to it carefully. It's got bad lyrics, an obvious repetitive tune and the vocals are, well, "quirky" would be a polite way of putting it. But you think it's great, because you love it, just like everyone else. It is the ultimate "bad song that everyone loves."

It has the best lyrics of any Britpop record pretty much!

To make the completely obvious comparison, it beats the crap out of 'caught by the fuzz'.
