John Lydon was on the radio recently discussing the background to this song, PiL's latest, and he had mentioned it before:

“A friend of ours got himself institutionalised,” he says in an off-the-cuff manner. “In other words, they put him in an old folks’ home in Britain. Because the authorities decided he wasn’t capable of looking after himself.”

His eyes then light up, and he leers towards the camera: “Well, he certainly was because, at night, he would break out, steal cars and rob supermarkets.” Rejoicing, he exclaims: “Oh, what a fucking brilliant, beautiful spirit of independence. I’m not advocating crime at all. But there he was, and he would go back to that old folks’ home and sit in his chair in the morning and go, ‘It wasn’t me!'”

Cerebral Fix - Cultes Des Mortes [ English Thrash Metal ]

From the album 'Tower Of Spite' and also the metal compilation album 'At Death's Door (Volume 1)'.

A very rare treat here. I first discovered this band when a friend loaned me 'At Death's Door (Volumes 1 and 2)'. It was exciting. It was the first time I would ever hear Cerebral Fix, Brujeria, Sepultura and my favorite takeaway from those compilations, Fear Factory.

RIP Neil.

From the band previously known as Slaves, in fact the song is about the reaction to their name change.

IMO the whole Britpop designation was a terrible construction of the British music press of the time. However, if I was forced to pick the music of only one of the bands with this label to take to a desert island …it might be Pulp.
