This song is about the SDI project (now likely defunct, and also nicknamed StarWarsproject), Strategic Defense Initiative. The United State planned to put lasers in space to defend itself from Soviet ICBM strike, hence Guns in the Sky. Hutchence seems against it LOL. The guitars and drums fit in perfectly with the lyrics, with a hydraulic, explosive type of rythm. When Hutchence refers to clock at two, he's referring to the peace sign with two fingers. That's enough of a clue.
