Immersed in lyric writing, frontman Brett
Anderson spent hours in London's Highgate library, looking through
biographies of old film stars. This ballad was named after the 1953
Marlon Brando outlaw biker film, The Wild One.
Lyrically, Anderson's 17-year-old girlfriend, Anick, inspired this ode to a relationship being slowly lost. The Dog Man Star
tracks "The Asphalt World" and "Black or Blue" were also written about
his teenage beau. "Our relationship was fiery and fractured," he
recalled to Mojo, "the kind you have when you're young."
