The song is about a man who goes to the horse race track to bet and win money. At first it seems that the horse (named Liebesspieler) is going to win, but the horse doesn't win and the money is lost.

The band had a session with DJ John Peel on 30 June 1984 and they released the songs as b-sides to the single.

There is also an English version of the song on Love, Peace & Money, titled "Love Is Here".

gollark: Well, like I said, the whole taking control away from the user thing, Office 365, and the fact that you *can* use it without paying if you don't mind the watermark. I guess it's more likely they'll just give you "Basic Windows" for free then bill a subscription for much stuff on top.
