Ian had been visiting his father, seriously ill in hospital in Blackpool. Whilst waiting for a connecting train to London, at Preston station (Lancashire), he sketched this song, about the experience of visiting.
He may have been joking, but Ian claimed the song would have been longer, but the train arrived!
