Songfacts®:

  • Co-written by David Barnes and George Evans, "Life's In The Pocket" is the B-side of "One-Four-Seven". This is a song that was obviously written by a couple of philosophers, although it certainly sums up the Hurricane's approach to both snooker and life. One should also bear in mind that it was written before his second divorce, before he headbutted a tournament referee, and before he was banned for a whole season for threatening to have fellow professional and Irishman Dennis Taylor shot. >>>
