Recorded in 1980, title track of the album, it is obviously about "detente" started by Nixon & Kissinger to have better relations with the USSR, Detente was ended in December 1979 by Jimmy Carter when the Soviet Union went into Afghanistan. President carter is referenced as "Uncle Jimmy". The song has all the underlying tensions between the USA & Soviet Union referenced metaphorically throughout juxtaposed with wanting to be friends - the detente. As with Mister President (another cold war track) this is most likely the only transcription of this track on the internet and I am glad to provide this and more in the future when I get time! >:)
