A profile of Switchspace in the Scotsman - The idea home show

I always though it was; I can’t imagine what else it would refer to in the context of that verse … and I seem to remember from some Stones biography I read years back that it got them in a fair amount trouble in the US. (Actually, thinking about it, that was about the “trying to make some girl” line.)
