When you’re trying to write something, you’re often looking for a tag to get you started. I wrote this, I think, in the summer of 1980, possibly up in Scotland. And for some reason I just thought, ‘You could dress me up as a robber, but it’s not gonna change my feelings for you’; that was the basic thing. ‘You can dress me up as a soldier/But I wouldn’t know what for/I was the one that told you he loved you/Don’t wanna go to another war’. That was a little bit of the peacenik in there.
