This track is a great addition to The Kink's album Soap Opera. The whole album tells the story of the star-maker: a famous artist who lives a life of glamour and then switches places with Norman, a typical working class man, to gather information for his songs. Ironically, Norman becomes more famous that the starmaker was, leaving the starmaker left uncertain about his identity. He is only an ordinary man now.
