"No-one would say what they wanted to say So he was king for a day.. " That bits about McGee. "Never showing on time Out of his mind, diddly doo doo dine Every single gig I play Something's not right inside Paranoia and pride, nowhere to hide..." All thats obviously about Peter. "If you sail into the sun, la la la la lala Beware the eyes of green" Probably another McGee reference. |

Probably incorrect, but I thought it was about football hooligans fighting after a match. Pete's a big QPR fan (he used to write a fanzine about them) and one QPR's biggest rivals are Wimbledon (nicknamed the Wombles). 'Did you see the stylish kids in the riot' Could be a reference the football hooligans who wear Burberry, Stone Island etc. 'It's these ignorant faces that bring this town down' Meaning the football hooligans bring down the name of the football team/town they are 'representing'. 'There are fewer more distressing sights than that of an englishman in a baseball cap' Most football hooligans wear baseball caps. 'Wombles bleed truncheons and shields' Wimbledon fans rioting with the police? That's just how I looked at it the first time I listened to it. Like I say, probably incorrect, but remember Peter is a big QPR supporter. |
