Written in 1985, it was first song recorded on New Year's Eve 1987 as part of the demo album Dung 4, which was released in May 1989.
The original version was written by Clint Boon and sung by Stephen Holt, but when Tom Hingley joined the band in 1988, it was modified.
The modified version, issued on the "Joe" 12" in 1989 became the standard, and it was still played even after Holt rejoined the band.
It features shots of a homeless man and footage of a British cities including London (including St Paul's Cathedral and Christ Church, Spitalfields) mixed with shots of many-coloured lines running up and down the screen, filmed with a blue filter.
When played live as Hingley's modified version, the intro blast beat was repeated for exactly one minute.
