Nope.

It sounds like a love song but, arguably, the love affair could be between the singer and the drug he is addicted to.

The song was not written by the band that played it.

It was originally rejected by Billy Idol and Bryan Ferry. So that should give you the era.

It went to number one in the US singles chat but only manged number seven in the UK. The US number one being the band's only No1 in the US.

Try as I might, I can't turn it into Last of the Summer Wine.

Perhaps if I speed downhill out of control in a bath on wheels filled with elderly men it will make sense.
