Neil This song started off as a track written one Sunday morning on the guitar in the early Eighties. I was lying in bed. I thought it sounded a bit like Everything But The Girl, and I took this half-written song into the studio at Camden Town and Chris changed the timing of it, playing on Ray Roberts' Rhodes piano, and it immediately sounded soulful rather than acoustic folksy. The high vocals and the piano were all on the original demo.

Chris The middle bit was added later. It used to sound like 'Juicy Fruit' by Mitume.

Neil On the album it has a backwards start - we were experimenting with these things. Also, in this song, for the first time ever - something I'd learned from Dusty - I don't sing the third verse in exactly the same melody. I started to think about singing with this album. It's the normal love-gone-wrong song. The middle bit - 'you are the only one' - comes from

the first X-rated film lever saw, just before I was 16, which was Midnight Cowboy. and they keep on having flashbacks of the Texan boy back in Texas with his girlfriend and she's going, 'You're the only one, Joe. You're the only one.' and for some reason that made a huge impact on me, so much so that twenty years later I put it in this song.

Chris So what is the truth?

Neil  It's a heterosexual story. Some guy's girlfriend is going out, screwing around, and he suspects she's having it off with someone. It's about lying in bed and your lover's somewhere else. The truth to be faced is that the person you're in love with is not in love with you. But you can't face up to it. It's just a story. Orate least it was at that time.
