Jennifer She Said

Credited to the whole band and produced by Ian Stanley, it was the second single from Mainstream in 1987 and reached 31 in the UK, the album's only top 40 single. Nicky Holland arranged the strings, and the B-side was Perfect Blue, produced by Paul Hardiman. The 12-inch carried live versions of Mystery Train and I Don't Believe You recorded in the United States in 1986.

Cole told Smash Hits in 1988 that it concerns a man in an embrace with a young woman who notices a tattoo that is not her name, illustrating that love is rarely forever. He added that being in love for a few years is better than not being in love at all. NME's Bob Stanley called it a charming vignette to tattoos and marriage and the band's best single in years, and in 2012 the Guardian's Jim Griffin named it his favorite Lloyd Cole song, noting its jangly guitars and croaked delivery.
