Songfacts®:

  • Vocalist Van McCann sings here about his wandering mind. His head is filled with regrets about people he didn't treat right and mistakes he made. He would rather escape from his thoughts by using drugs and being with pals. He starts the song by singing:

    Maybe I don't mind
    Just getting high in mine
    We're shouting over music
    With a friend who's like a brother


    McCann told Q magazine the lyric is, "about when I'd moved into a cottage with my mate Larry, and we were having a smoke… shouting over music."
