“She Said” by Longpigs

"She Said" was the song Longpigs led with: in July 1995 it became the first single from The Sun Is Often Out, the debut album they made for U2's label, Mother Records. Crispin Hunt wrote the words and music. First time round it stalled at 67 on the UK Singles Chart, well short of the Top 40.

It got a second shot. After "On and On" gave the English band their breakthrough, and with the album finally out in April 1996, a reissued "She Said" rode that momentum to 16 in June. Second time lucky.
