A swipe at The Stone's home country of England. They imply that the people are lazy and the politicians incompetent. It was first recorded in 1978 at the Some Girls sessions. Lyrics were added and it was repackaged for Tattoo You. Also a "Hang fire" is what happens when you pull the trigger on a rifle or pistol and nothing happens for a few seconds, then the gun goes off without warning, in a delayed reaction. A misfire is where you pull the trigger and NOTHING happens. Needless to say, hangfires are quite dangerous.
