I knew the 2 guys who wrote this. One's unfortunately no longer alive & the other is currently serving time for financial irregularities.

The first was a guy called Geoff who was living in a house in Sheffield due to be refurbished by the local council but he refused to move out so they carried out the work while he still was living there & he moaned about having to live like that & said it was "Like living in a f*ck*ng box. Like living in & out of a cardboard box"

The other friend was called Steve who liked the phrase so much, penned the lyrics & between them wrote the music. I don't want to say too much about what happened next but let's just say we went down & removed everything that was their's including boxes of tapes & sheets of lyrics with the challenge that if this band who released the single under their own name had actually written them then they would remember them & could record & publish......

Allegedly of course  😉

Interesting story. Also just noticed everyone's favourite DJ Tony Blackburn makes a cameo in the video
