'How Did It Come To This' will be on the band's new album

Take That have written a new song, 'How Did It Come To This', which fans are speculating is about the plight of Amy Winehouse.

The song, set to feature on the band's new album, 'The Circus', features lyrics that seem to allude to the life of the troubles singer, described as "a girl in Camden Town".

According to The Sun the lyrics include the lines, "Slightly schizophrenic… slightly OCD."

Other lyrics include, "All this noise and all these lights, All this talking through the night, All this expectation now it's making me neurotic, Tall me have I seen your fave before? How did it come to this?"

'The Circus' is set to be released on December 1.

People speculate about the plight of Amy Winehouse?That's like speculating about the plight of the guy who used to sit next to me at work - why would anyone care?

No matter how many drugs Amy Winehouse takes, I will always respect her more than Take That for the fact that she is herself and, as troubled as she is, her voice is better than those 4 twats put together. For good or bad, she is real. Take That on the other hand, are not.

Amy Winehouse has more talent in her bloody beehive than Take That have in total. Take That were crap in the nineties and they're still annoying now. They led to the likes of Boyzone and Westlife, and now they've led to the likes of them reforming. BARLOW & CO: GO.AWAY.NOW.

I'm serious, we used to have keith richards vs the conservatives, the pigs and the squares, playing music from black americans to the children of white racists and making millionz off vinyl LPs every hour. Now it's Amy with Take That taking her side? Stitch up. Cynical stitch up. This is not looking good people. This is looking really rather bogus indeed.
