Personally I've always thought of this song as being narrated from the perspective of a law man or soldier. Jaded about the bureaucracy above them, and dedicated to getting the bad guys for the good of society even if some innocent guy theoretically might buy it sometime. I always picture Pachino's homicide detective from Heat, or a Mitch Rapp / Scot Harvath anti-espionage character from a suspense novel. |

It appears that Mike Rutherford wrote this song right around the time the Falkland Island's war was occurring and the war was very controversial in British social life, especially among artistic communities. The lyrics appear to have been purposely left open ended in terms of whether whether the pursuer or pursued is a good guy or a bad guy. |

So ironic. How the band must have felt about this song afterwards. Nothing but highest regards though. Rest in peace, Bon. |
