In June 2000, Dave Faulkner said that the song "was originally conceived to be just one of a suite of songs, a mini-opera like the Who's A Quick One as I strived to fulfil my Wagnerian masterplan to revive the '70s concept album (c.f. Radiohead). Two other songs from Crank , "Hypocrite Blues" and "Gospel Train", also survive from the grand opus. "The Right Time" was intended as the theme for a female gang of motorcycle hellcats, but of course that's obvious." [3]
