Nope, Bobby O was their producer before even Please, their manager was Tom Watkins, but either way this song is about the press and the people working in it, after their first proper tour (before Very).
The verses are the insincere comments from the press "Of course it's all on tape, but no one will find out" The pre-chorus and chorus is Neil's response "I smiled with murder on my mind" and then his personal thoughts "Admitting I don't believe in anyone's sincerity, and that's what really got to me"
A really well written song that starts as bitchy as hell and ends really sweet, and contains some of their best music, probably their most energetic and powerful with Always on My Mind a very close second.

And then, the dénouement is the ending coda "Then, when I was lonely, I thought again and changed my mind..."
