Julian Cope reached outside his own songbook for "5 O'Clock World", an Allen Reynolds song he recorded for My Nation Underground, his fourth solo album, in 1988. That record pushed further into the more commercial side of Cope's writing, following the relative success of Saint Julian, and it yielded three singles, "Charlotte Anne" among them.
Cope himself has since all but disowned My Nation Underground as an artistic misstep that never delivered the music he was after, though he has also owned up to his part in that, and critics have mostly come down on his side.
