In Kids in the Riot, Doherty says of the song; \"Carl was completely out of his mind, he started using crack and heroin then when we were doing the first album, thought it was a big joke. We wrote a song called 'Skag and Bone Man' out of it, know what I mean? ... [The song] stands out because we wrote and recorded it all in a day. Just being able to take what was around me, all my feelings, all my emotions about everything and put it into a song, whip the band into shape and give Carl his little 30 seconds for his solo and just BANG! It was there and I was happy, I was proud.\"
The melody is inspired from Perry Como's \"Catch a Falling Star.\"

Toodle pip
On and on and on and on and on and on
Like you even know what's going on
To this world that I'm thrown
Kill you before you're born
Pawn your soul to be number one

You say it's old fashioned that same old song
That's how your mother likes it all night long

We could stay at home and
Call the skag and bone man
Dig our grave out with a spoon
In the morning picking flowers
Stare at the wall for hours
Till the sun becomes the moon

You say it's old fashioned, the feeling I know
That's how your mother likes it, now watch my boy go

If it's real, it's your next meal
Don't even talk about it

It's real like your next meal
Don't even talk about it
