Well we were having a party at ours. And when singers spot acoustic guitars, my heart sinks, you know, because they’re appalling guitar players. And Tom [Meighan], he picked up my acoustic guitar which was hidden right round the corner of the fireplace and as he picked it up, he’s going ‘Can I play you some of my tunes?’. And I looked at the clock and its ten to seven in the morning. So I was like ‘Well, go ahead then’ and as he sidles up beside me with this acoustic guitar he starts strumming some chord I’d never heard of right, it’s probably N sharp or something like that, and he starts strumming this chord and I said ‘So what’s this tune called?’ and do you know what he said? At ten to seven in the morning: ‘This is called ‘Religion’. Right, ‘religion’, so I had to stop him and say ‘Tom, give us the guitar. Why don’t me and you go to the kitchen and have a nice refreshing bottle of champagne and let’s see if we can get you a taxi to go home.’
