The Man Is a Working Class Guy

The song is about meeting a rich girl from Greece at some Martin's College. And then halfway through the song, she's like flipped a switch in him. It just sends him off into this kind of, well, it's really sort of a flailing rage. She disappears on the song. He's not angry at her. He's angry about himself. The fact that it's culturally important is one of the reasons I love it,. Because you can be standing a dance floor, bellowing it out even while there's all these powerful emotions.
