As Martyn Jacques says, "A major theme of the hundreds of songs I have written is the people living in the margins. When I moved to Soho in the 1980s I spent many hours just looking out of my window. And I watched the drug dealers and the prostitutes and the drug addicts and the gangsters. And I learned what they did and why they did it. It wasn’t always as straightforward as you might imagine. But it was before the yuppies arrived. Serenade from the Sewer presents some memories of that time. It was a happy time for me. But it was tragic for many of the people I knew and watched from my window."
The album's artwork is by Martyn Jacques.
