Informations

This song, beside being on Fanfare For The Comic Muse, also featured the Active Studio demo. The demo is a bit quicker than the album version, but the lyrics are exactly the same.

It's mainly a criticism of the British government's policies (Mrs Thatcher was Prime Minister at the time). In the second verse, there are allusions to ecology, Neil being very concerned by this issue.
