Notice that in this song, Marie is waiting for Tony Christie, but in All Seeing I's "Walk Like A Tiger", which is also a Tony Christie song, Marie had left him for a man half his age! Maybe Tony had spent too long trying to find the place, and Marie got fed up waiting. Ho hum.

"Willingly I die for Jesus and in defence of the Church!"
Or
"Let me go, you pimp!"
