I hope I quoted the right person?
Dark things were going on during the making of that album. Here is an excerpt from an interview:
"(...) during the process of writing their debut album, the singer's girlfriend of six years dumped him because she felt he was more committed to the band than to her. Soon after, Turner's father almost died of meningitis.
"The doctor said he wouldn't make the weekend, and I was watching Pete and his family fall to pieces," Garvey recalled. "All of that stuff found its way onto the record somehow.""
