"Ketika saya menulis lagu itu, saya memikirkan tentang laut di dekat Bombay. Kami tinggal di sebuah hotel di tepi laut, dan para nelayan datang pada jam lima pagi dan mereka semua mengucapkan mantra. Dan kami pergi ke pantai dan dikejar oleh seekor anjing gila sebesar keledai. ... Saya pikir penulisan lagu berubah ketika kelompok mulai menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu di studio. ... Saya sudah menulis begitu banyak lagu tentang orang Inggris, saya harus pergi ke tempat lain. ... Repertoar kami terdiri dari irama dan blues, semacam irama dan blues country, hal-hal Sonny Terry."

--- Ray Davies

Versi Bahasa Inggris

When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog-big as a donkey. ... I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio. ... I've written so many songs about Englishmen, I have to go elsewhere. ... Our repertoire consisted of rhythm and blues, sort of country rhythm and blues, Sonny Terry things.
