==Background==
As referenced in singer Noddy Holder's biography, "Far Far Away" remains his favourite Slade song.〔Noddy Holder's biography Who's Crazee Now?〕 Holder originally came up with the lyrics while standing on a balcony overlooking the Mississippi river in Memphis. Manager Chas Chandler inspired Holder to complete the song. Jim contributed the chorus to Holder's verse.〔Slade's Greatest Hits compilation booklet〕
In an early 1986 Slade fan club magazine interview, guitarist Dave Hill spoke of the song's lyrics. ''"The song was written about being abroad wasn't it? 'Yellow lights go down the Mississippi' and all that - being in the States and wanting to go back home. They were just experiences. Obviously, when you are on the road, you are writing about being on the road, you're writing about what's going on."''〔(Slade International Fan Club newsletter March - April - May 1986 )〕
