Cover art for Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) lyrics by Spandau Ballet

The song itself is one of those funky hybrids, like "Rapture" from Blondie. The last lines are actually rapped, not sung, as in Rapture.

Song seems like someone's dealing with an anxiety attack. He starts in a panicked manner,("I check the time! It was almost time!") then it's like the medication takes effect and the lyrics drag out in a trippy way. ("I know this feeling is a llliiiieeee...") Then he notices the weird side effects. ("There's a lion in my arms! There's a motion in my arms!") Whatever it is, this guy can't deal with the pressure.
