Graeham Goble: “I thought that was the best thing we’d ever recorded. It was Glenn [Shorrock]’s best vocal. We found it to be a favourite song of lots of people and surprisingly Glenn’s father who has now passed away and my father who has also passed away, Glenn and I have both learnt that it was their favourite song.” The lyrics of this song were inspired by some Humphrey Bogart movie dialogue.
