The story behind the song

This new wave song from Squeeze's 1981 album East Side Story was inspired by lyricist Chris Difford's marriage. He began writing after seeing his wife's wedding ring next to the soap, sparking a chain of ideas about relationships. Difford described it as a song that encapsulates the fun of being on the road, feeling like a comfortable pair of jeans. It plays with the energy of a fast tempo, ending with a piano-driven flourish.
