Gruff Rhys on the line about George Foreman: "There's a quote in it from George Foreman. He was asked, 'What did you spend all your money on?', and he said 'Slow horses and fast women.' It's about the downside. There's too many songs celebrating the upside of sex and drugs. Wine, sorry. There's a lot of trauma to be had by shagging and wine. If you drink loads of wine, you keep on repeating yourself, and if you shag a lot, you repeat yourself. Some sexual experiences are blissful, some are traumatic."
