• Wainwright wrote this song after a show in Bexhill, a town on England's southern coast. He explained to The Sun that he penned the tune after an encounter with certain members of his fan club who had attended the concert. "I hope desperately that the ladies don't take offense as it's quite cutting and a little brutal," he said. "It was after being on the road a lot and I was tired. I met a wonderful group of women who had gathered to see me."
  
  "They were there to have a good time but at one point I felt threatened and I was barricaded in my dressing room because of their enthusiasm," Wainwright added. "I was exhausted and not in the mood. So, I wrote that song as an antidote."
• This was part of Wainwright's album Unfollow The Rules, which his return to pop(ish) music after spending several years working on operas and orchestrations. Mitchell Froom, whose other clients include Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow, produced the set.
