"I chose this because it was one of the first songs of David's that I fell in love with...He wrote this about his brother who was in a mental hospital...I liked (and still do) the idea that the real world might be madder than those incarcerated because they can't cope with world of the "sad men roaming free". No less true today then then. It has a sadness and cynicism that I think is detectable in his very latest album as well. " Alastair Riddell
