Hier in einer etwas schmissigeren Version, wie man einst sagte, sieben Jahre später.

Hab mir die live-Platte von denen gekauft. Auf Vinyl, klingt gut. Die ist ein richtiger Reinfalll. Aber da ist nicht "(Come up 'n see me) make me smile" in einer anständigen Version drauf.

Zitat:Between May and July 1974, Cockney Rebel embarked on a major British tour to promote their second studio album The Psychomodo. As the tour progressed, the band began facing growing tensions, which ultimately led to their split at the end of the tour in late July. On 18 July, the band received a 'Gold Award' for outstanding new act of 1974, and a week later they had split up over their disagreements.[6] Jean-Paul Crocker, Milton Reame-James and Paul Jeffreys had approached Harley, insisting they could also write material for the group. Harley, the band's sole songwriter, felt this was unfair as he had been the one to originally hire the musicians for his group, and explained the deal to them at the time.[7]
After the band split, only the original line-up's drummer, Stuart Elliott, would join the new line-up. In a television interview recorded in 2002, Harley described how the lyrics were vindictively directed at the former band members who, he felt, had abandoned him.

Harley began writing the song only days after the band's split. The original vision for the song was vastly different to the one that was recorded. Harley had written the piece as a slow blues track with a dark mood. In January 2012, he told Uncut magazine that the first verse was probably written at four in the morning after a bottle of brandy, feeling sorry for himself. On The One Show Harley added, "I was in distress, there's no doubt at all, out of adversity I had to talk about it, I had to write about it. I had to say these things, I had to get it off my chest."
