Cover art for Russian Literature lyrics by Maxïmo Park

about communist dictatorship in russia and what happened to it once it left.and how communism was still a better choice(marginally) than autocracy, in my opinion.very heavily political for paul,yet again partially disguised as a love song.

There's a news blackout 'Cus it just got worse Status depends, on the size of your purse There it is again that lock of hair that won't sit still- this is about communists censorship of news.how precommunism power depended on your money. and how communism was seen as a problem that needed to be controlled or destroyed,like a lock of hair that can't sit still,either cut or controlled. not sure if girl is meant to be a spy or something.

DEAD ON there I think.
