Songfacts®:

  • Red Light Company singer Richard Frenneaux (from Clash Magazine): "The song has strong references to drugs, overdosing. For me, the poignancy of it is in the first verse. It's writing and love that are the two things that are important and help you to be remembered...
    'As long as there's some time to write
    Scribble my thoughts tonight
    And steal a kiss alright
    I'll still survive'
    I think every writer, or creative person, has a desire to be remembered in their own way; I was trying to express that from the beginning. It was a statement of intent for the rest of the record, that's why it was important for me to keep this as the first track."
