It didn't miss the chart because it didn't sell.

Released on 1 December 1997 as a numbered edition, this single was ineligible for the UK Singles Chart.2

It closes Dig Your Own Hole,5 with Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue taking part.4

The 20th-anniversary edition of Surrender, released in 2019, comes with footage of their Glastonbury set from 2000. The last song on that list is this one.6

The end of an album, the end of a show. Some songs keep being put in the closing slot. I measure an artist's depth by how many of those they have.
