Great song. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LOVE PROG ROCK you gotta listen to it more than once. This is one of these oments that to appreciate and understand it, you have to hear it many times more. It defininately is a worth-while experiece i assure you.

The language - well you get used to it and you grow to love it. I hated "Colony of Slipperman" at first, but now it's one of my favourite songs. This is one of the same situations.

Gang warfare - obvious theme. No more to say there. PG is a genius - nothing more, nothing less. What more can you say about such a catchy song?

I completely agree - with most Genesis songs, the first listen is experimental. Listening to this and definitely Colony of Slippermen a few times really brings out their greatness.

This is easily one of my favourite Genesis songs. Particularly love the Reverend part, oh and Harold Demure :)
