Well this is a true story, i was playing in St Lois and met a woman !! It was a whirlwind and she came to England, but things became difficult, we planned to Marry in New York and her father Joe Torre manager of the New York Yankees won the world series, so we arrived in a frenzy of fame and tickatape parades and then escaped to the scottish highlands and lived in a caravan and then eneded up in Dublin, where it ended, we are still freinds and this song is for Christina.
