Mishra, a straight edger and ex-Marxist, often incorporates political concerns in his songs veiled in terms of personal relationships (as in his only hit). After a troubled working relationship with EMI Records, Mishra was dropped from the label in 1997 and since then has gone back to working with indie labels like Parasol Records. His last album, 2000's Peek & Poke, received moderately enthusiastic reviews but sold pitifully compared to his major label work.
In 2005 White Town contributed the song "The PNAC Cabal" to the charity album "Voyces United for UNHCR" (Voyces United for UNHCR (disc 1)).
In October 2006 White Town released a new album, Don't Mention The War on Mishra's own label, Bzangy Records.

White Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's too
Every single hue i will send to you
Down this line with the utmost patience
Across these nations hope to make you mine
You've got me overflowing
And oh, don't you know it
And I want to keep it what can I do?
I'm bewitched
And everything I feel is truly real
I have no choice
Never seen your face but my heart races
When I hear your voice
You've got me overflowing
And oh, don't you know it
I can't stop this love from growing
And I want to keep it what can I do?
I'm bewitched
I don't want this lovе to ever
Fade or faltеr if I book the day will you
Meet me at the altar? There is nothing more
I can do to explain the way I feel
When I hear you once again
It's all I can do today
And if you had a penny for every time
I have thought of you
You'd be a rich girl baby and someday maybe
I could sponge off you
You've got me overflowing
And oh, don't you know it
I can't stop this love from growing
And I want to keep it what can I do?
What can I say? What can I feel?
I'm bewitched

What can I say? What can I feel?
I am at a loss for words to describe how I feel about you
I'm bewitched
I am totally captivated by you
