When I heard about Richard Wright's passing, I imeediately thought of this song. Listening to it will be that much more depressing now. |

And about Kipling never leaving India:
"From 1897 until his death, Kipling made England his base, although he continued to travel extensively. In particular, he spent his winters until 1909 in South Africa, toured Egypt, made trips to Europe before and after the Great War, and visited Canada twice."
There is also a town in Saskatchewan called Kipling, that is purportedly named for Rudyard Kipling to honor his travels through Canada.
So there |

It doesn't really matter... but I was just listening to this song and I noticed that these two lines are in the wrong order above. It goes like this:
They wanna have a war to keep their factories
They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees |

I'm pretty sure the song is called 'Missing You'... makes this page hard to find when the name is misspelled. |

You're right wetcoaster, he was referring to natural gas reserves, not oil. But I'm still pretty sure Kipling made the comment about Medicine Hat, whether he was ever there or not. I believe everything I read in Wikipedia!
So there! :P |

little_arsonist, you must like Four Strong Winds by Neil Young too then! Myself, I'm partial to "Running Back to Saskatoon" (that's where I'm from).
And yes I know Ian Tyson wrote and performed that song first. But the Neil Young version is the only one you will hear on the radio these days :( Plus that's another reason for you to like it, Ian Tyson is a rancher in Alberta! |

Damn right adrian! This song is definitive good time 80's hard rock! I always crank the radio when it plays, who can resist? Not to mention the fact that it always makes me think of GTA Vice City :) |

I just started listening to this album again after about 10 years... wow, this is a great song. For some reason it reminds me of when I was a kid growing up on the farm. |

I just found out from wikipedia that "all hell for a basement" is a quote from Rudyard Kipling referring to the vast underground oil reserves under Medicine Hat, Alberta.
Oh, and this is a great song. Big Sugar rocks! |

jpaul34, that's a very interesting theory about the meaning of "serrated edge", i'd never thought of that. However I don't think it fits into the subject of the song being about a woman who's in the relationship for the money, and the man who's in it for the sex. You're implying that "getting what she wants" refers to sex, but that's what HE wants. Maybe she's hiding cash in a ziploc bag, for all we know. But as is often the case, only the songwriters really know what the lyrics mean. |
