When asked on her choice of provocative imagery "soldiers falling like lumps of meat" and if something had triggered her to put anti-war sentiments into song, Harvey responded:
I wanted to try and articulate some of the feelings engendered by the world we live in. I kept coming across instances where there would be officially appointed war artists, war correspondents or war poets but I couldn’t find the officially appointed war songwriter anywhere. So I thought in my head, if I was put in that role how would I do that, how would I report back from the front line in song.
