Hi there! The BJM were in and out of my flat during 1995-96 because one of their BFF's was my roommate (Diane). During that time, I had a conversation with Anton Newcombe about how I'd loved David Bowie since I was six. It was in reference to David Bowie's narration of Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf. I was six in 1978 when that record came out, and my father gave me that record as a gift. My relationship with my father was complicated, but we shared a love of music. Unsure if I mentioned that part in the conversation. Very possibly. This song meaning is unconfirmed by Anton. I'm not in touch, but the timing is exact. Hope this helps. I didn't know about the BJM song until Bowie died in '16 and a friend pointed it out to me.
