Marty about 'Take me tonight'
One night I'd finished working in a show and I quickly changed and went out very quietly and stood in the bar in this disco and like a voyeur I stood in the darkness and watched everybody else making plans for that particular night. I tried to put myself in the position of how Kim would feel and the kind of things that Kim would say - I hope I got it right.
