Get the Sheet Music License This Song

Running to around 3 minutes 20 seconds, this song, written by John Lawton and Peter Hesslein of Lucifer's Friend, is the fourth track on the 2016 Too Late To Hate album. In a November 2016 email interview, lyricist Lawton said it was "dealing with so called TV/radio celebrities who it turns out were not all that they seemed."

Clearly there are many candidates, but it would probably be considered defamatory to be more specific. >>
