About the song
An instrumental intro, which is like listening to a transistor radio on a rainy day back inthe 1960's, leading into a song about the prime movers and shakers of the "Swinging London" scene. Lots of name dropping , Michael Caine, Twiggy, Mary Quant, Terrance Stamp, David Bailey . . . you get the picture.
Tony sings and wrote these brillint lyrics. I (David) played all the instruments. Still one of my favourite songs by BIG SLEEP.
