1981... This song is a swipe at The Stones home country of England. They imply that the people are lazy and the politicians incompetent. The Stones rarely performed in England because of the huge taxes that were levied on entertainers. It was much more profitable for them to live and work elsewhere. The Stones first recorded the track in 1978 at the Some Girls sessions. Lyrics were added and it was repackaged for Tattoo You. This was released as a single in America but not England. -Songfacts
