I've always heard this song and thought about the Roman Empire... The last lines especially "And it's our right to own you ..." give me that owner/slave vibe, which isn't unique to Rome but it's what stuck for me. Weird.
Anyway you see it, this is definitely one of the best Delgados songs there is... Emma Pollock's voice floats above and behind the other vocals beautifully.
