Notes
Dave Gahan told VH1:
"The song is all about the so-called glamorous side of Rock 'n' Roll, and ending up on some dirty sticky floor every single night, some god-awful toilet in some club or - most of the time - my own dirty sticky floor in my own bathroom. But I wanted to poke fun at the whole side of Rock 'n' Roll and have fun with it, even though the lyrics represent a true part of my life at that time. The tin man and the lion character [of The Wizard Of Oz] were two huge dolls I had in my apartment in Santa Monica. I had burnt out all my friends and these two dolls used to keep me company. On any given night, they would start talking to me. Suffice to say, they didn't last."
