    Everyone wanted to know what that damn song meant. He finally admitted he was high as balls when he wrote.

      Yeah, I remember listening to the radio and the DJ saying he had some free stuff to give away to anyone who could phone or write in with a good explanation of those lyrics. Off the back of that I rushed out and bought the 7" single and spent hours listening to it and writing down lyrics trying to get some meaning out of them.

      I didn’t work out what it was about, I didn’t get the free shit from the radio station, but Nik Kershaw did get a additional record sold. Genius!
