| State Radio – Riddle In Londontown Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is referring to the Mining Accident that occurred several years ago. "The daughter of the second American Revolution" refers to coal which is the product and primary fuel of the Industrial Revolution. The line "Don't go ask the newsman because he will tell you everything he don't know" refers to the mistake the newsmen made when they claimed that all of the miners that were trapped had survived; actually if I remember correctly they all died. The line "But it ain't the bridges that are falling down" again refers to the collapse of the mine. Overall this song is critical of the media that is so set on getting the news first that they make mistakes that can be devistating. | |
