You may have to ask Judas Williams or Pontius Smith. |

Déjà vu all over again. First the Iron Curtain, now dictatorial regimes. All because of the interwebs!

You need to pay attention to What he is watching on that TV. The Fall of the Iron Curtain...That is what the song is about. The communists lost the cold war and the people finally were free, and took it out on the Wall in Berlin. Having relatives stuck on the wrong side of the Curtain (and knowing others stuck inside East Germany) makes this song even more poignant. Watching The World Wake Up From History....Connie the Commie said We Will Bury You, and they failed. Sadly too many still think that those are good policies.....idiots. |

I was just thinking about this song yesterday. Leave it to Radio Paradise...
This is definitely in the category of songs that one would judge very differently without the filter of nostalgia.

I love this song but except for this and Welcome back, Victoria (and perhaps a couple of other tracks) their albums have become unlistenable to me sadly.

not this side of the pond, i think. and i was just now wondering if this band had any other songs... surely some of them had to be pretty good. |

Absolutely - and more than that, this CD evokes a fairly significant part of our history Mr A, does it not? Actually, this is definitely the best song on the CD... |

I'm amazed the Obama campaign/inaugural did not co-opt this song. Would seem to fit quite well.
