I've read that this song was the first song made after the band broke up, which was also when they didin't necessarily make pop music yet. It wouldn't be until 'Sound of the Crowd' they would make more pop oriented songs that would make them famous. With that being said, this song sounds more like a song that would be made by the original lineup than the new one.

This song is about crime from a Policeman's perspective, inspired by Phil's time as a Hospital porter.
