Songfacts®:

  • Sweet Billy Pilgrim are an English alternative rock band, composed of bassist/banjo player Anthony Bishop, guitarist and songwriter Tim Elsenburg, and drummer/percussionist Alistair Hamer. They took their name from the hero in Kurt Vonnegut's anti-war science fiction novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. This track is taken from their Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize nominated album, Twice Born Men.
  • The album title is borrowed from an organization for Vietnam veterans. Eisenburg explained to Mojo magazine November 2009: "Conflict is a key metaphor for me. When you return from a war, you're inevitably changed, born again. Similarly, you can claw your way back from a destructive relationship. The last track is 'There Will It End' - it could be apocalyptic but it's actually about beginning again."
