"There was me and my monkey/And with his dungarees and roller blades smoking filter tips/Reclining in the passenger seat of my super-charged jet black Chevrolet..."
"Guy and I wrote it in Thailand. I can't say where it came from. I must have come up with ‘me and my monkey, him with his dungarees and rollerblades...' and I thought, ‘that's interesting - I wonder what happens'. And the rest just flowed. It was interesting to bring in characters, and to leave the ending open for the listener to choose. It says ‘me and my monkey...trying to understand why he did what he did'. And I don't know what he did. One day I'll find out."
