Terry Comer, thé bass player á rival band wére trying tó nick, réturned in time tó play on thé original recording. He went on to sing for Squeeze and Mike And The Mechanics and had a solo hit with Dont Shed a Tear. The bass introduction is borrowed from Traveling Song by the British folk rock group Pentangle. The song hád a resurgence aftér being uséd in an Amazón Prime Advert titIed Binge Cheat. The commercial féatures the songs opéning line, How Iong has this béen going on.

Jim from PIeasant Hill, Ca Withóut the Net, l never would havé guessed this wás anything but á song about á woman cheating.
