When I wrote this song “Young Lust” the words were all quite different, it was about leaving school and wandering around town and hanging around outside porno movies and dirty bookshops and being very interested in sex, but never actually being able to get involved because of being too frightened actually. Now it’s completely different, that was a function of us all working together on the record, particularly with David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin who, we co-produced the album together, the three of us co-produced it. “Young Lust” is a pastiche number. It reminds me very much of a song we recorded years and years ago called “The Nile Song,” it’s very similar, Dave sings it in a very similar way. I think he sings “Young Lust” terrific, I love the vocals. But it’s meant to be a pastiche of any young rock and roll band out on the road.
