Album Notes & Community Reviews
Martin Gore composed the song after reading Priscilla Presley's memoir, exploring the concept of individuals acting as saviors for others in unbalanced relationships. The track shocked fans by introducing a heavy, twangy blues-guitar riff atop an aggressive, stomping electronic beat. Mute Records cleverly promoted the single by placing ads in personal columns with a phone number that played the song when dialed.
