I had an epiphany, I was physically struck by this information. In an attempt to hold on to this feeling, I decided to lift the original title of that song and use it for my own purposes. It‰۪s unclear to me what that purpose is, or what the connection is. I was not thinking about Suede when making this record. I was thinking about the\u003cbr\u003elast few years of the Thatcher era. Those were the years when music first really came at me like a sickness, I had it bad.
