The song is written for and inspired by a collection of personal effects, originally owned by Manchester's Isabella Banks (writer of The Manchester Man) now in the care of the John Rylands library. The items were from all corners of the globe... Egyptian mummy fragments, a flower from George Washington's grave, bedding from Princess Eugenie's palace, etc.

However there was no record of Isabella ever travelling out of the UK at that time.

So I imagined her husband George Banks travelling the country to find theatre he wanted to stage and bringing her back these gifts from far and wide. At the time they were surviving on her wage for writing serialised stories in journals and newspapers. I found it interesting to describe this upending of the stereotype of 'woman as Muse' and 'man as Artist'...and to have his presents inspire her stories which earned their living.

The first verse is sung from Isabella's point of view, the second from George's as he confesses that none of these wondrous objects were from where he claimed but instead from various boozers in Manchester and Salford but if they sparked his wife's imagination and allowed them to survive then his lies were a price he was willing to pay.
