@[Maxxieg:23080] I can't edit but apparently it's about a gang in Southhampton Common park called Mandela Boys and this song is the same story as Bloodflood Pt 1 but from the slapper's point of view. I still think there's different ways of reading these lyrics though |

I think it has to do with South Africa and the end of the apartheid. Mandela boys/men probably refers to Nelson Mandela's supporters. Quelea is a type of african bird that is found in South Africa. It took me a while to understand what the "Common" was because Alt- J uses this word a lot, but here it's obviously the commonwealth. I'm bad at history so i don't want to say anything stupid, but this song is probably about blood shed during a revolution for independance in South Africa. Which wasn't what I understood at first, I thought it was about sex. |
