"...Seriously" is a composite, I think, of Sting, Bono, and George Michael
for getting involved in tendy causes and acting very pretentious about it
(did Sting save the rainforests?). "Shameless" is *not* about Tom Watkins,
but I don't know who it is about. "Decadence" is about Watkins. "Yesterday,
when I was mad," is just about the press reaction in general to the
Performance tour, all the "damning with faint praise" that the Boys were
getting.
