Mr X by Ultravox

[tubeway]

On the 1980 album Vienna, there is a track called Mr X. I know it is supposed to be about somebody, but I dont know who.
Any help appreciated
TIA

Good post.

The band always suggested that he might be a real person, didn't they ...

But they've never expanded on it.

I don't know the answer, but I'll be interested to see if anyone does.

They asked the question on a Swap Shop or Tizwas type programme as a prize question. I missed the answer the next week due to the army shipping me out to Hong Kong, and have wondered ever since.

There aren't very many "unanswered" music album mysteries left (except for "what the f is The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway really about?") so this is jolly.
