It was so easy to write. I came back from the pub, drunk, and just wrote it quick. I probably had more verses, which I cut.\"\n\n\"It was just everything that was around me y'know. My little flat in Pimlico did have damp on the walls and it was f--king freezing.\"\n\n\"I was doing a fanzine called December Child and Paul Drew wrote a poem called 'That's Entertainment.' It wasn't close to my song, but it kind of inspired me to write this anyway. I wrote to him saying, Look is it all right if I nick a bit of your idea, man? And he said, It's fine, yeah.\"  https://tinyurl.com/5n6tbh9m",
