Although written post-snow crash, I always intended this song to be part of the band. It was the first song where I actually felt like I'd worked out how to use compression, and that you could hear everything that was going on! It was also fun playing two guitar parts... drums are just samples off a Computer Music magazine CD.

Lyrics

I heard some people say that you have been playing away

When I went down,

and I am looking at a different picture

Of the uncontrollable crowds

And there has to be a logical reason

why they played it down

and you weren't the last to see me

as you were walking away

(chorus)

When the man in the middle spoke up you cried

And I ran undercover til I nearly died

When they threw the gas in I was still playing away

to the ever-loving crowd,

and the thought of having to face the black army today

couldn't last, so I wrote it all down.

(chorus)

I see the fear behind their eyes

And it's all just a cover for their lies

(middle 8):

You held all the cards you know I never realised that someone quite so beautiful as you could tell so many lies and when we sit here undecided the detritus of you crime I wonder if we really needed you to get us here and why why why did you go?

I wanted you to think again,

I wish that you would think again

As you say wait in line...

(chorus)

I though you looked back before you dived

and I though you smiled into my eyes

So I waited and I watched as you were walking away

and my hands were being tied

You looked like the essence of your soul had been taken away

and I didn't mind being the fall guy.
