In 1996, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which referenced the classic Audrey Hepburn film of the same name, reached the top five in the U.S. and number one in the United Kingdom.
There was conjecture that the band took so much time off between Home and Deep Blue Something in order to fight US centered copyright issues related to their initial album, 11th Song, which they believed to be of lower quality than their name deserved. The 7 year hiatus between albums is believed to be partially responsible for their failure to succeed in the US with their self-titled release.
The band returned in 2015 to release new music for the first time since 2001. This EP was titled Locust House.
John Kirtland is now running a successful independent record label called Kirtland Records. Based out of Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California, Kirtland's shrewd business dealings led to his ownership of the back-catalog of superstar band, Bush and royalty rights on the sales of certain albums by No Doubt. After selling off his rights to the No Doubt material, Bush remains on the Kirtland label along with successful indies like Bril and the Burden Brothers.

Deep Blue Something Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A pot of coffee.
(you never throw a change-up.)
God bless the good caffeine
As the one accepted demon
You're never letting go of...
a smile on your face befits your place
We have our little ways to waste our days...
Light, urban, terrorism.
We're burning the new gods.
page me wolverine. page me wolverine. page me wolverine. you're welcome to my machine.
page me wolverine. page me wolverine. page me wolverine. you're welcome to my machine.
take up all your free time
Listening to be-sides
And find a new messiah.
We're mixing the solution,
Calling it cold fusion.
Tell me, can you dig that?
starting out ascent
We then begin
(we're only getting higher.)
Tell someone to speak up
Of what we're in need of.
"the warriors killed cyrus."
Blaming it off on me

The lyrics of "Page Me Wolverine" by Deep Blue Something are open to interpretation. The song appears to be commentary on the mundanity and absurdity of everyday life, while also referencing popular culture and political events. The first few lines refer to the start of another work week and the reliance on coffee to get through the day. The line "you never throw a change-up" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the way life can feel monotonous and unchanging. The idea of coffee as a "demon" suggests that it is both necessary and potentially harmful.
The next few lines reference MTV as a "running joke that everybody knows" and the ways in which people waste their time during the day. The line "light, urban, terrorism" seems to be a commentary on the idea that society is obsessed with trivial matters while ignoring more serious issues. The line "we're burning the new gods" could be interpreted as a critique of the way that people worship celebrities or the latest trends.
The repeated phrase "page me Wolverine" is likely a reference to the X-Men character Wolverine, who is known for his toughness and reliability. The line "you're welcome to my machine" suggests that the singer is inviting someone to connect with them in some way. The song also references "cold fusion," which was a buzzword in the 1990s for a type of nuclear fusion that was thought to be a potential source of energy.
