SIOUXSIE: "I wrote the song 'Running Town' about Sydney, a city I truly hate. Everyone is in a hurry and walks around grinding their teeth. Instead of making a 'I hate Australia' statement I tried to make it more general so that it can be applied by anyone to their hometown in the same way that when reading a book you can often apply it to your own situation. It's important to be allowed to use your imagination. In that respect it's a pity that reading books is not a more popular pastime." Source: Dutch Interview 1984.
