Dear Emily
You again! Right, I don’t really know the answer I didn’t write the lyircs. Chas had an idea for a song called “Micheal Caine” for some time. It’s about informers, I think. This is from wikipedia:
“The song is about an informer during the troubles in Northern Ireland.It is named after famous English actor Michael Caine and includes his vocal samples, recorded specifically for this song. When he was first approached to appear on the record, he initially turned the band down. But his daughter on hearing this made him change his mind, telling him how popular they were.”
