Childhood Memories Lyrics

Cover art for Childhood Memories lyrics by British Sea Power

One of my favorite BSP songs. Actually, I have a lot of favorite BSP songs. Obviously about ecological disaster and the attempts to correct it. It reminds me of a quote I read once, "(Americans) think there's an engineering solution to everything." Iraq being a case in point: just fix their electricity grid and that should make everyone happy! The Bush administration is now looking favorably on some mad scientist types who think we can correct global warming by seeding clouds or by putting giant mirrors in space. Good luck with that. For some reason the song also reminds me of Nevill Schute's book "On the Beach." Maybe I'm reachimg with that one.
