I'm listening to the remastered CD right now, and he clearly says PHC. In the 1983 Live in Italy, he does say PCP though. |

John Lydon quote from 1989: “It should be pronounced 'Useless One', it concerns your president. It's about a terrorist bomb on Air Force One. It poses the question, how would Mr. Bush feel if he knew? I don't write anything purely just for atmosphere, that would be boring. Things have to have a point to them." |

On December 21, 1988 John Lydon and his wife Nora were due to catch Pan American World Airways' third daily scheduled transatlantic trip from London Heathrow Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. Because of delays caused by Nora's packing, they arrived at the airport too late to catch the plane. The flight Lydon and his wife missed was the doomed Pan Am Flight 103, which was destroyed by a bomb whilst flying over Lockerbie in Scotland, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members on board. When they learned of what happened the couple looked at each other and almost collapsed. This dubby near-instrumental was written by Lydon as a message to the Lockerbie bomber, who would have blown him up but for their last-minute change of plan. |

Love at first sight. Seeing someone who reminds you of yourself and being too afraid to approach them and regretting it later. |

I don't see anything in the lyrics to suggest cheating. It seems more like mental abuse. |

I just read this as well. He started punk band "The Gun Club", which appears to be related to the song title. In 1996 (3 yrs before this album), Pierce died from a brain hemorrhage. Pierce was HIV positive, while also suffering from cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, at the time of his death. |

| Underworld – Spoonman Lyrics

I'm convinced this song is about heroin.
It's cooked on a spoon, penetrated into the veins, transfusion into the blood, often makes those feel 'close to god" (just like Jesus' son), fly high and then (sometimes) die. |

| Blondie – Little Caesar Lyrics

Could this be about the 1931 movie "Little Cesar"? The way she sings reminds me a bit of Edward G. Robinson.
Debbie Harry: "You can't forgive me. You won't forget me. You can't live without me. Can't live without me"
Caesar Enrico Bandello: "You didn't quit. Nobody ever quit me. You're still in my gang. You got that? I don't care how many fancy skirts you have hanging on to you. That jane's made a softy out of you."
Debbie Harry: "You'll find there's not enough. Find out you love too much."
There's never enough for Cesar, he wants it all. Also, there's this movie quote about love: Joe Massara: "We're in love with one another. Don't that mean nothing?" Caesar Enrico Bandello: Nothing. Less than nothing. Love. Soft stuff!"
Not all of it fits the movie perfectly, but maybe it fits the book or it's 'artistic license'? |

You're correct. The confusion comes because the 2 songs were named wrong on the Substance 1987 2CD set. :( |

This song follows the lives of four sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March, and is loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters. It has three major themes: domesticity, work, and true love. All of them are interdependent and each is necessary to the achievement of a heroine’s individual identity. |

Totally agree with you on the part "The war is over, So said the speaker with the flight suit on". I clearly remember George W Bush landing on the aircraft carrier wearing a flight suit and announcing the war was over in another photo opp. |

Perhaps this song is about Tyler being stuck in jail where he's forced to give blowjobs, take it up his bum, and getting beat up for having a wang the size of a golf ball and generally being loud (which he does to compensate for his feelings of inadequacy). To deal with the pain, his mind retreats to a fantasy world of unicorns, blunts, whales, and dollar amounts that don't exist. |

The Human League references this song in Love Action (I Believe in Love). Lou Reed is the 'old man' that Phil references. |
