About the song
Stewart Copeland remembers writing this song in his head while driving home from Surrey Sound Studios in his yellow Cortina (i.e. in rather early The Police days).
The Police attempted to record it for Ghost In The Machine, but the song was soon abandoned. Stewart counts in, sings the main vocals and plays probably most (if not all) of the guitar parts, maybe except for a quieter part that sounds like a guitar synth. There's a higher backing vocal that's probably Sting.
In 1985 Stewart Copeland worked together with Derek Holt for the Droids project. They recorded this tune at Stewart's The Worried Rabbit home studio in Buckinghamshire.
