It’s rubbish, it’s a joke. All pop songs are basically saying ‘please go to bed with me.’ So I’m going to make it as blatant as possible, set it to this cheesy synth riff – everything I hated about music at that time. It was junk. Lol (Tolhurst) and I recorded it, Fiction (Records) put it out, and suddenly we’re getting 15 plays a day on American radio. Sod’s law, isn’t it?\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
