I’ve written a lot of songs recently and I played them to a friend who said, “You haven’t written a song about a cat – I think people would expect at least a token kitten song.”
I couldn’t bring myself to write some crap about “woo yay kittens” just to get some people on the internet to like it so I thought I’d try and write something true about our own cat Rocky. He’s extremely violet and a mixed blessing. Generally people go “aww Rocky” stroke him for a minute and then he brutally savages them and that’s that.
The video contains a shot of what is known locally as Suicide Bridge – a legendary bridge in Archway which people occasionally throw themselves off – I popped up there to get the shot on the pretence of buying lunch. My father grew up nearby and claims to have witnessed a girl jump off in the 50s but he does like a story.
