Old burnt out raver turned to drink and sitting in a pub somewhere in a northern city. He's one of the ones who kept on going while his friends settled down and now he's cast adrift between the generations. Not at home with his contemporaries but no longer able to fit in with their successors. So here he sits surrounded by the youngsters of the current crowd. Desperately wanting to join in with a veteran's authority and share his war stories of the glories of his youth. But he's upset and frustrated to find he is shunned and despised by the very people he sees as his tribe. "I" speaks at times more for the generation than for the individual. The little mystery on your tongue is a MDA/MDMA reference. Broken jaws protecting laws harks back to the poll tax and criminal justice act demonstrations in the 90's. My god, we thought we were going to live forever, we thought we were changing history.

That's what I get anyway.
