| Iron & Wine – Love Vigilantes (New Order cover) Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! This is by far the most logical war they were singing about. I was confused into thinking "Land of the Sun" meant Japan (Land of the Rising Sun), which would have meant the justifiable WWII (if any war can indeed be justifiable). Another point of confusion was Britain was largely not a part of the Pacific theater. But now you've helped me realize the hint of sarcasm in the lyrics is there because the Falkland War was fought by the British Empire and was highly unjustifiable. Plus consider that New Order was British and that that CD was released in 1985, the Falkland wars being fought 3 years earlier and fresh on the minds of the British people. |
