I wrote the song after a gig in a trendy wine-bar in Glasgow. The song itself though could be about any major city. Bruce Springsteen says that a decent 'rock' song only needs one great line, and I think in this song it is my line "You don't get child poverty in Paradise, why should you get it around here".
Also on this song is a number of different instruments, I usually only have guitar and vocals with a bit of Harmonica, but here I have added Violins (Nichola Kerr), Mandolins (Dan Hughes) and Bass. There is also a female backing singer.
It's definately one of the songs that I'm most proud of.
