This is one of my favorite Wipers songs even though I guess it's kind of a throwaway track...
Just makes me imagine a very shy and self-conscious person looking on at somebody they desperately want to communicate with but are unable to. Telepathy would be the cure for social isolation, a way to express hidden feelings without making a public display--if only it worked.
Knowing what a sci-fi nut Greg Sage is perhaps he was thinking of telepathically conversing with the aliens or whoever when he wrote this, but then why the title?
Also, I hear the repeated line as "telepathic affair" rather than "telepathic band". Though I have to admit when I first heard this song I thought it was "telepathic cafe", so what do I know?
