I'd always wanted to write a song about a leather jacket and how wearing it makes you feel. I love leather jackets, and I've got a big collection of them.
I can imagine moving out to the seaside at some point. I like Brighton, my sister lives there. I'm a seaside boy and whenever I go there, I find myself writing songs about it.
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
I liked the idea of writing a song saying I'm happy with who I am, and I don't mind if people think I'm some old git.
