Nothing to do with the meaning of this amazing track but Paul Weller did admit it was a last minute decision to do this track but, after hearing Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag by the British band Pigbag, he lives it so much that felt compelled to record a track in that style. The result is a double A-aide release which includes Precious.
