| The Psychedelic Furs – President Gas Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think you are right. I wondered at the term 'president' considering that they are English but 'president' has three solid syllables whereas 'prime minister' is a bit clunky. More importantly though, it reinforces that they don't care that much about specific countries and specific variations of political philosophies within the basic, democratic paradigm. The whole point of the song seems to me to be, 'It doesn't make any damn difference; I still can't afford a bloody doctor'. Personally, I think its more a resigned cynicism, rather than any sort of call to arms. | |
