"A Song from Under the Floorboards" was one of the singles Magazine pulled from The Correct Use of Soap, their third album, released on Virgin in 1980, and it stands among the English post-punk band's best-known songs. Howard Devoto wrote the words and sings them, while the music is credited to the band as a whole, with John McGeoch on guitar, Barry Adamson on bass, Dave Formula on keyboards and John Doyle on drums, with McGeoch and Adamson chipping in backing vocals. Martin Hannett produced.
It also marks the end of a chapter. The Correct Use of Soap was McGeoch's last album with Magazine; he had been their guitarist from the start, and once it was out he left to join Siouxsie and the Banshees.
