@[jefferybarber:35208] Can I have a lifetime's supply of what you've been drinking? WTF would XTC, a band from Swindon, UK that is renowned for its social and anti-right wing commentary, be writing a song about the CIA and some crackpot religious BS? Considering XTC had a large catalogue of songs that are critical of religion in general, and the pressure put on younger generations by the British establishment, it is simply ludicrous to think that any of your post bears ANY resemblance to the meanings intended by Andy Partridge. Apart from anything, the lyrics really aren't difficult to understand; Middle class couple get a call from a policeman who is investigating an attack on Asians. Policeman nocks on kitchen door, giving mother a headache. Father's smoking his pipe and reading the newspaper. Policeman produces the son's (graham) wallet, that was dropped at the scene of the crime. Mother can't believe it, claiming that son's been "picked" It's all swept under the carpet by mother's Dad, who is conveniently a judge and able to influence the judicial process. Not difficult. Clever lyrics, but not difficult to understand. |
