Lyric discussion by wescz 

Jack says the ball & biscuit reference is to a recording microphone, though as its phrased in the song, it can't be anything more than a novel reference to sex. The "seventh son" is a reference to the fact that Jack is indeed, the seventh son. The second verse, the "read it in the newspapers" bit seems to confront Jack's sudden fame, and how he is well known.

I always thought that the term "ball" related to doing the deed (60's term) and a "biscuit" was grabbing something to eat, hence lets have sex and grab some dinner or something along those lines .. "let's have a ball girl and take our sweet time about it"
