This song has the plainer themes of Englishness and bittersweet romance. Just wondering what the lyric "Casts a shadow over this land" is about though, it sounds a little bit political, and knowing Billy Bragg.. well it probably is. Perhaps I am wrong and the land he is refering to, is his memories. Could somebody explain, I work in IT and lack the finer sensibilities for understanding such things.
