In the Guardian newspaper February 24, 2006, Karl Hyde said: "We used to go

out drinking

in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were

written on that

night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I

was inspired

by Lou Reed's New York album and Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles. I was into

flash photography

as well, so I was walking around Soho with a notebook and camera, just

observing things.

In those days I'd open the book whenever a musical idea inspired me. Rick

[Smith] came up with

a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take.

When I lost my

place, I'd repeat the same line; that's why it goes, 'lager, lager, lager,

lager.'

The first time we played it live, people raised their lager cans and I was

horrified because

I was still deep into alcoholism. It was never meant to be a drinking anthem;

it was a cry for

help. Now I don't mind. Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money

on."
