Written by Simon Friend about the "men an tol", which literally means "stone with a hole" - it's a small stone on the Cornish coast. Apparently Simon was walking by the men an tol while on holiday and felt a sudden desire to run into the countryside. Later, in his hotel room, he compared the kind of feeling he got from the ancient stone and beautiful countryside to the kind of misery you see on the news. The result is this song.
