Apparently HD wrote it in Manchester, whilst living in a real s**t hole with insects under the floorboards... When Moz snag it at the Apollo he told his home audience that it was about 'Newton Street'(???) and they all cheered, so maybe the houses down there haven't changed that much...
At first I was a bit put out that Moz changed some of HD's lyrics... But then I thought how with him, even his own songs aren't sacred, so I guess it's just second nature to him to amend lyrics until they fit him!
