A classic s.k.a. reggae song from.
I heard Any Winehouse doing the cover at the end one of her shows on TV.

In Westminster parliamentary systems, a backbencher is a member of parliament (MP) or a legislator who occupies no governmental office and is not a frontbench spokesperson in the Opposition, being instead simply a member of the "rank and file". The term dates from 1855.1 The term derives from the fact that they sit physically behind the frontbench in the House of Commons.
A backbencher may be a new parliamentary member yet to receive high office, a senior figure dropped from government, someone who for whatever reason is not chosen to sit either in the ministry or the opposition shadow ministry, or someone who prefers to be a background influence, not in the spotlight.

Just relaxing, associated with homeless people with not much to do. A bit like a beach bum, hanging around in and out of bars.
I read the quote in a Jack Kerouac book, 'Piers Of The Homeless Night' 'And since I'm well and on the bum again & ain't got nothing else to do, but roam, long-faced, the real America....' and thought I'd check if there was a meaning on here but now I've read the section again I get what it means even more!

'Hey man, how's your day been?'
'well since I lost my job, I haven't had much to do. Been on the bum a lot'
