The cover art makes me think someone was watching "Time Tunnel" on acid.  And, as to the Gary Glitter reference: "Hey-yey, hey-yey".  |

I think a little Hawkwind, from Quark, Strangeness and Charm would be fitting after this tune

Am I the only one who hears Gary Glitter here? (Not to take away from the song. But seriously)

Correct. It's apolitical. It's about the ruling class, big brother, big corporations and big government. Its not about left vs right. Its about top vs bottom. |

You are my hero!  I still love this song - what a great beat (I still think Client's "Lights Go Out" would be great after this.) Isuspect this is another of those tunes that would net me a speeding ticket or land me in jail for disturbing the peace...  |
